Microsoft haven't implemented HTML5's keygen in spite of being a "standard".
The same is valid for iOS.

This makes the use of X.509 certificates quite quirky.

What's the way ahead then?  Since the world [apparently] is divided a better path
could be to offer a web interface that allows you to implement the "keygen" you want.

You see a pattern here?  No?
