Quoting Ian Hickson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
<keygen> in general is not specified at all in WHATWG at the moment. I
would be open to adding it but I have so far utterly failed to work out
what it is supposed to do. If you'd like it in the specs, please send a
detailed spec for it (including error handling) and if it is a good spec
then I'll look into adding it at some point.
I was sent a pointer to some older Netscape documentation:
http://wp.netscape.com/eng/security/comm4-keygen.html
Yeah, that's all I could find as well. It isn't detailed enough.
It seems to a bit of a hack. Mozilla does not represent it as a
"keygen" element
in the DOM for example, but as a select element with a _moz-type attribute set
to -mozilla-keygen. (With the attributes propagated.)
Opera does seem to have some kind of "native implementation".
* Wonders who actually uses this...
