Re: Possible solution for same origin policy problem in Web Certificate API

Hi Arun,
I read your response to Sangrae Cho regarding the use of BrowserID as the Korean solution:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webcrypto/2013Jul/0011.html

There's nothing wrong with BrowserID but it is probably not compliant to banks' requirements since it does neither address PIN-codes nor secure storage.
IMO this is valid for the entire Web Crypto API scheme.

A related issue which has not been commented on is that the Web Crypto specification effectively "disintegrates" a platform with respect to key storage.
Immediately after (probably even before) Web Crypto passes through standardization, a frenzy of (all incompatible) schemes will emerge with the goal of restoring the platform again.

regards
Anders
