Hi, I just wonder if any of you guys could give me some input on how to implement an XML-based security protocol in Firefox. To give you an idea of what is called for, please take a peek in: http://webpki.org/WASP-tutorial.pdf
Although the document refers to a "WebSign" standards proposal, the scope is a larger set of related standards proposals, currently including: WASP: WebSigning WebAuth: Replacement for TLS-client-authentication Bounce: Secure browser redirect PKIProv: Replacement for KeyGen, generateCRMFrequest and Xenroll An initial question would be: is there any general-purpose XML support API in Firefox? WASP and WebAuth can be tested in a configuration where a local web-proxy is used as a signature plugin: http://upi-using-service.webpki.org (in this setup the local proxy is on the Internet to allow testing without downloads) The next step is doing this in the browser itself. I intend to look closely into the many CardSpace projects that should be pretty related although they do not build on the MIME-trigger mechanism that is the common denominator for the mentioned standards proposals. thanx Anders Rundgren _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
