So an interface sounds like the right direction to me. Once that is worked out, maybe our W3C members could see fit to putting a simple reference implementation into Jigsaw (the W3C experimental Web server). ================================================ Mark Leighton Fisher Thomson Consumer Electronics fisherm@indy.tce.com Indianapolis, IN "ViaCrypt?
