R10 : eID Firefox Extension

[Work done from 3rd November to 16th November 2008]

After started to work on the new architecture of the eID system, I started to worked on the browser extension and with the Desktop application. I created the Firefox extension to get the policy from the Re lain party and display it to the client in a formatted manner to get the confirmation from the client.

Then I have to pass the policy to the desktop allocation (that is not fully functioning ), to sign the policy by the client.

When I was developing the Firefox extension, I faced many problem with that. First I needed to start it from the scratch, and I needed to study about the XUL and JavaScript Java bridge XPCOM. They were very new for me.

And now I’m working with the desktop application. And we are also updating out blog at blog.project-eid.org.
