This extension brings the legacy activation mechanism defined in BSI TR-03112-7 sec. 3.2.2 (http://docs.ecsec.de/BSI-TR-03112-7) to the Open eCard App (http://www.openecard.org). This way the Open eCard App can be used with all currently specified activation methods.
In order to use this extension, the Open eCard App is needed in a version at least 1.0.1. The Open eCard App can be downloaded at https://jnlp.openecard.org. Furthermore, the app must be running, or an error will be displayed.
On the technical side, the extension works as follows:
1. A web server delivers a page with the eCard specific object tag.
2. The extension recognizes the object as an eCard object and forwards it to the Open eCard App via a HTTP GET parameter.
3. The authentication is performed as usual.
4. The Open eCard App redirects the browser to the destination given in the object.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
