Hello.

 

I hope this is the right place to post this.

 

I need to access cryptographic tokens from the browser somehow, in order to
digitally sign data.

As far as I saw, WebCryptoAPI cannot help.

I was hoping for XPCOM or NPAPI, but those seem being dropped too (according
to rumors because you don't mention anything on your site:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4402226/xpcom-plugin-support-on-ff-3-5
and I know that Google Chrome is dropping NPAPI because it's out of
fashion):

 

Now, I know there is something called a PMS in FF
(https://wiki.mozilla.org/PSM:Topics ) that is supposed to be the "internal
glue code that connects the Mozilla platform code to the external
<http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/> NSS libraries. It's NSS
that contains the general purpose implementations for core security
protocols, algorithms and much more.". I have found how to install a new
module (I usually call them middleware) into PMS.

 

-          But is there a way to sign some data with it? Does PMS allow
this?

-          If yes, can this be done with a JavaScript browser plugin?

-          Are there any code examples for this?

 

Your online docs are VERY confusing.

 

Best Regards,

Kostas
