Object-Signing Tools
Scripts are signed using Netscape's Signing Tool (signtool), a command-line utility that creates digital signatures for Java class files, JavaScript scripts, plugins, etc.
Scripts may be served from a secure (SSL) server, in which case they're treated as if signed with the public key of that server
Users retain the right to deny the privileges requested by the signed script
