Signed Script Policy-2

• Netscape's Page Signer tool provides signing of scripts. Page Signer associates a digital signature with the scripts on an HTML page.

• A single HTML page can have scripts signed by different principals

• The digital signature is placed in a Java Archive (JAR) file.

• JAR files may include the JavaScript source if one sign a JavaScript file with Page Signer.

  • ( If you sign an inline script, event handler, or JavaScript entity, Page Signer stores only the signature and the identifier for the script in the JAR file. If you sign a JavaScript file with Page Signer, it stores the source in the JAR file as well.)
