[REBOL] rebol and electronic-signature ...
From: petr:krenzelok:trz:cz at: 30-Apr-2003 14:32
Hi,
simple question - for e-business automation purposes, our law allows to
replace paper invoices by electronically delivered once, but such data
has to be electronically signed (hopefully not encrypted). So I would
like to ask, if Rebol/Command is able to somehow investigate the
certificate, check it and to send electronically signed documents.
I am not sure I understand the issue correctly, but am I correct that
electronic signature is "just" public key file attached to the end of
the email?

etc.
But Rebol/Command docs state:
Certificate handling is not supported. REBOL does check the validity of
server certificates internally, but no mechanism exists to access the
certificate chain from REBOL scripts, and client certificates cannot be
defined.
So I am somehow confused about the issue ...
Any help appreciated,
thanks a lot,
