Ah, thanks! I am however, not a 'crypto expert' and would like the actual experts to weigh in and set the 'policy' (for lack of a better word.) At this point in the game, it would seem that FirefoxOS, with it's enhanced security model, would benefit greatly from APIs like this. I am hoping that will help in garnering the resources to implement and/or develop an engineering schedule for this. -david > > Gerv > -- > dev-tech-crypto mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto > -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
