Hi all,
I unforunately tried to find a solution to achieve PKCS#7 or CMS
signature generation from Firefox, to a later XML-Signature conversion.
I´ve analyzed several possible solutions:
1- Using crypto.signText() function: This function introduces additional
attributes into the PKCS#7 signature and doesn´t allow a proper
conversion to a signature XML DSig standard compliant.
2- Using the secclab plugin to generate a CMS signature of a HTML form.
I haven´t got any way to execute it, since when I install the plugin in
Mozilla 1.5 or Netscape 7.0, the browser shows me a notification dialog
indicating that installation is complete. But then I can see the plugin
listed at the browser installed plugins list.
I´m thinking about a possible answer to my problem, but I can only think
about making a new plugin to generate CMS or PKCS#7 signatures,
something like an updated version of Secclab.
¿Somebody could tell me the reason why secclab plugin development closed
in 2003?
¿Do you think that it´s a reasonable idea, in time and effort terms, to
build a plugin of this nature (specially taking into account that I´m a
basic C++/advanced C programmer?
Thanks for you attencion.
Regrets.
Jesús el tuty.
