Re: Plans on PKI

Where did I say that it’s important for the browser to provide the functions? I already looked at PKI.js (further PKCS#7 functionality will be implemented some day in the future) and also Forge (implementing WebCrypto in the near future) and I just wanted to ask for a statement from the WebCrypto side to sum that up in my chapter about Web Cryptography API. Thanks for your explanation.

The performance, policy, and isolation benefits of WebCrypto don't really apply to the PKI functions you mention, and there are good JS libraries.   In addition to PKI.js, I've also worked with forge.js.
