Widgets 1.0: Digital Signatures Draft Published 2009-03-31: The Web Applications Working Group [1] has published a Working Draft of Widgets 1.0: Digital Signatures [2]. 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 trust and quality assurance mechanism. Prior to instantiation, a user agent can use the digital signature to verify the integrity of the widget package and perform source authentication. This document specifies conformance requirements on both widget packages and user agents. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity. (Permalink [3]) Everyone, please review this draft as soon as possible, preferably within the next two weeks so the Web Applications WG can use this information as soon as possible. regards, Frederick Frederick Hirsch Nokia [1] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/ [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-widgets-digsig-20090331/ [3] http://www.w3.org/News/2009#item41
