Subject: Transaction-PKI - Indefinitely put on hold
"3) The signing capability must be native in
the browser; i.e.
there must be no downloaded applets or locally installed plug-ins" "6) The capability must work with all major
browsers - Firefox,
MSIE, Opera and Safari;" If requirement #3 is combined with requirement
#6, which we must assume is appropriate to do, we run into an interesting
situation since MSIE (Microsoft's Internet Explorer) in its current 6.x version,
without installing any "forbidden" extension code, AFAIK, is actually not able
to sign anything.
Fortunately some PKI-TC members have reportedly
spotted a person who will show us "wannabe" browser gurus, that with a some
JavaScript trickery from IBM, MSIE can indeed do things that not even Microsoft
knew it could.
Having requested more information on this since months
back, I have a feeling that this person is not for real, and that we are
actually just waiting, and most likely for nothing.
