Yes, that's exactly what Tyagi is working on, hopefully as as GSoC project for GNOME. I've pointed him at Lenka's ideas, and even put one of the mockups into https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679860 In Comment 5 there I have outlined how I think the UI should flow — and yes, it involves prompting for passwords as required, and continuing to prompt for a private key file (or PKCS#11 location) if the location chosen for the *certificate* doesn't also contain the key. But I *don't* want Tyagi to get bogged down in the minutiae of dealing with the various specific file formats. That's the kind of thing that the crypto libraries are supposed to handle for us. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre david.woodho...@intel.com Intel Corporation
