Hi Pablo, You are certainly not alone! There are MILLIONS of people using similar features in the EU.
To my knowledge no major provider (bank, e-government, enterprise) use signText or CAPICOM because in addition to being pretty different, they are also rather limited. Regarding the latter: Who wants to read a complex document [to be signed] as plain-text? In the physical world I have yet to see such a document (without going 20+ years back in time). But since the "home-market" for the two leading browser vendors, do currently not use on-line signatures, it seems that useful signature features will be created by other parties. I'm personally involved in one of the maybe twenty, entirely disparate "e-sign" missions going on in the e-government space: http://middleware.internet2.edu/pki06/proceedings/rundgren-websigning.ppt In case you need something now, I suggest looking into the following cross-browser solution: http://www.openoces.org It is a bit primitive IMHO, but it supports XML signatures and is currently being upgraded to support other formats than plain-text. Regarding signature validation, this is (in existing usages at least), performed by the requesting server and does (IMHO) not really belong in a browser, although CAPICOM indeed can do this. regards Anders Rundgren ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pablo Andrade" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: mozilla.dev.tech.crypto To: <dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org> Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2006 18:30 Subject: Sign/Verify text in FireFox Hi, i am trying to sign and verify a text using a x509 certificate. I found a Javascript Crypto object that implements a SignText method, but there is no Verify method. Only help found at http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/JavaScript_crypto but lacks of description of Crypto class interface. I need to have similar functionality as in IE/CAPICOM Any help will be appreciated. Thanks and regards.
