Re: Signing using JS in Safari
Thanks Anders. This was really helpful. Going down i see applets as the only solution if browser compatibility is to be taken seriously. I'm just looking for signature plug-in and have no time to write an applet using java pkcs apis. Openoces looks promising but any idea of the level of support they provide for issues in the api/code?

Here is an open source (free) applet plugin: http://www.openoces.org/index.html It is used in Denmark and maybe somewhere else as well. In Sweden the government has spent some $30M over the years on: http://nexussafe.com/en/Products/Nexus-Personal IMO, both solutions are inferior but since they are actually used it doesn't really matter :-) It interesting to note that many signature plugins come with an authentication plugin which unifies the PKI GUI which using TLS is quite terrible. Some crypto people think that replacing TLS-client-cert-auth with an application-level authentication mechanism is a bad thing but there are tons with drawbacks using TLS-client-cert-auth and there is no hope for improvements and the alternatives are already in place. Even USPTO have selected an Java applet for PKI login... Anders Sunny wrote: Hi Anders, Thanks for your mail. Is there any proprietary solution that's named Message Pro or so??

Accessing Certificate Issuer and Issued to in mozilla using JS
Hi,
How can i access the Issuer and Issued to of the selected
digital certificate in JavaScript in firefox?
For Internet Explorer, CAPICOM provides API to do this but for firefox
i'm not able to. I've tried using window.crypto.
Example Java Script code:
try {
result = window.crypto.signText(Something to sign,ask);
if(result == 'error:userCancel' || result ==
'error:internalError' || result == 'error:noMatchingCert'){
// alert( Result=+result+. Staying back. );
return null ;
}
}
catch(ex) { }
There's one way. if siging is successfull, result is a BASE64-encoded
string. It has a structure shown at
http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6152-10/sgntxt.htm. But, when i tried
to decode this base64 string to get CN value of Subject i'm not
getting proper strings. Is there a better way?
Is there a way i can access the issued to field in the digital
certificate selected thro window.crypto object or any other object.
(or)
Is there a plug-in for firefox similar to CAPICOM for Internet
Explorer.
