Although it may be too late for your needs, it might be of interest to know
that I and some other people are in the process of creating a ground-up key
provisioning system for use in browsers?

My own guess is that on-line PKI provisioning will become the norm for most
large PKI deployments but the current schemes are simply too variant to
support that .  Particularly when the container for such deployments will be a 
mobile
phone.  None of the leading handset makers AFAIK have selected Mozilla's
or Microsoft's provisioning schemes so there is a lot to do here.

Subject: Key Gen in a browser


Hi there,

I'd like to know does the <keygen> call a local PKCS11 module, and how
does it store the key pair into the local key store and how I can know
which PKCS11 module will be used if there are more than two?

Is there any similar way for IE with a CSP?

Here is a piece of HTML code:
<form>
   <keygen NAME="randomkey" CHALLENGE="1234567890">
   <input TYPE="text" NAME="Field1" VALUE="Default Text">
</form>

 
If you can point out a doc link, it will be great.

Thanks.
