I think you can use PKCS#11 interface to sign text. PKCS#11 provides an interface to operate cipher-related steps and others. About PKCS#11, you can refer to http://www.rsasecurity.com for information.
Of course you can develop a token(hard or soft) to implement signature, if you have time and capbilities. And you can buy Rainbow iKey to finish, too. -- best regards, Xu Yongjiang Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone:8610-66151387-1016 "lfern" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Look at: news://news.mozilla.org:119/[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > kross wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'm trying to find a way to sign text with Netscape Navigator 6.0 or higher > > and Mozilla using certificates. > > > > This is no problem with Netscape 4.xx because you can use the javascript > > function crypto.signText() > > see http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/security/sgntxt/contents.htm > > but it seems to be missing in the 6.0 en newer versions of Netscape. > > > > I can also sign text with internet explorer 5+ using a commercial product > > from Persits > > see http://www.aspencrypt.com or http://www.persits.com (installs a ActiveX > > component in the client IE browser for signing) > > > > A look on the Mozilla project page reveals that form signing has a low > > priority and has no release date yet > > see http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/psm/piptasks.html > > > > Is there a way?
