Design question for a service that signs messages on behalf of a user thanks for that link. I'd found the version on github and it didn't work and i couldn't make it work, but that one does work. That does open up a much better approach then. |

Design question for a service that signs messages on behalf of a user The objection would be usability with the intended audience being non-technical. Unless I can get a pure javascript way of executing the decrypt/signing on the client side, it's a non-starter. |

Design question for a service that signs messages on behalf of a user @ricky safe keeping of the private key. I.e. if the web service is compromised, the key shouldn't be persisted in unencrypted form. |

Design question for a service that signs messages on behalf of a user @mikeazo Correct. I want messages that can be authenticated as unaltered and originating from a specific user, but provide this as a simple authoring experience from a web app. Messages are passed in a heterogenous system, i.e. the authoring service isn't the authority to vouch for identity.
