Subject: [widgets] New WD of Widgets 1.0: Digital Signatures spec
published on March 31
On March 31 a new WD of the Widgets 1.0 Digital Signature spec was
published and announced on the W3C's home page:
[[
2009-03-31: The Web Applications Working Group has published a
Working Draft of Widgets 1.0: Digital Signatures. This document
defines a profile of the XML Signature Syntax and Processing 1.1
specification to allow a widget package to be digitally signed.
Widget authors and distributors can digitally sign widgets as a
trust and quality assurance mechanism. Prior to instantiation, a
user agent can use the digital signature to verify the integrity of
the widget package and perform source authentication. This document
specifies conformance requirements on both widget packages and user
agents.
]]
Please review this new WD as soon as possible, preferably within
the next two weeks:
