I posted some ideas in reply to Stephane Saux's request for comments at news://news.mozilla.org:119/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The nicest feature would be exposure of a SignFile(fileName) function, that would read the contents of a local file and produce a signature.
I saw you have developed something similar for XUL. It would be good to have such a function available in general JavaScript+HTML. I don't think it would have any security problems with such a function, as it wouldn't allow the browser direct access to local files in a non-secure way.
This functionality would be good if you want to sign and upload one or more binary files to a web server. This way, after the web-server accepts the file it would be able to verify signarure matching.
Best regards, Mihail
