Both are part of the W3C's Security Activity, and both appear to be developing a Cryptography API based initially upon DOMCrypt. Only the Web Cryptography Working Group has been chartered. http://www.w3.org/2011/11/webcryptography-charter.html I assume the link you found reflects an earlier draft, before W3C decided to split off crypto in the browser work to tackle first. We anticipate that the webcrypto work will be useful to identity on the Web, but don't have a WG chartered on that front. --Wendy > http://www.w3.org/2011/08/webidentity-charter.html > -- Wendy Seltzer -- wseltzer@w3.org +1.617.863.0613 http://wendy.seltzer.org/
