Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference

Name

<KEYGEN> — NN all IE n/a HTML n/a

Synopsis

<KEYGEN>

End Tag: Forbidden

A KEYGEN element allows a form to be submitted with key encryption, where the server expects a form to be packaged with an encrypted key. The client browser must have a digital certificate installed. The user sees two results of including the KEYGEN element inside a FORM element. First, a select list of available encryption key sizes is rendered in the form where the KEYGEN element appears. When the user submits the form, the user may see one or more security-related dialogs for confirmation. This element builds on the public-key encryption systems built into Navigator.

Example
