Last Call: Widgets 1.0: Digital Signatures; Widgets Requirements Updated



2009-04-30: The Web Applications Working Group [5] has published the  
Last Call Working Draft of Widgets 1.0: Digital Signatures [6]. This  
document defines a profile of the XML Signature Syntax and Processing  
1.1 specification to allow a widget package to be digitally signed.  
Widget authors and distributors can digitally sign widgets as a  
mechanism to ensure continuity of authorship and distributorship. A  
user agent can use the digital signature to verify the integrity of  
the widget package and to confirm the signing key(s). Comments are  
welcome through 01 June. The Working Group also published an updated  
Working Draft of Widgets 1.0: Requirements [7]. Learn more about the  
Rich Web Client Activity [8]. (Permalink [9])
