I did of course google and I did find the site you linked, but it did
not help me much, as I found no information what has to happen
server-side (or links to such information). I understand that the key
is generated, stored and a SignedPublicKeyAndChallenge POSTed to the
server. I had not recognized that SignedPublicKeyAndChallenge is a
standard format. After I found that out, it seems to be a bit clearer
to me. I assume that the server then may generate a certificate for
that key and send it back to the client. Firefox will then probably
install the certificate as a SSL client cert and allow authentication.
However, if this does not happen, i.e. for some reason the key gets
generated but the server fails to respond with a certificate, what will
happen with the key? As I already said, I did not find any UI (or any
way at all for that matter) for managing those keys, actually there
seems no way to access or delete those keys at all. Is there?
