W3C XML Signature Compliant Digital Signature for Mac OS X

Infomosaic SecureXML Digital Signature Java Applet is now available for Mac OS X for use with Mozilla FireFox and Netscape web browsers.

Please note that SecureXML is a product useful for the software developers. For end users interested in an applicaiton for signing documents on the Mac, we provide SecureWebsign Server, which has been updated to support Mac OS X client platforms in addition to Windows. SecureWebsign Server runs on Windows 2000/2003 Server machines and supports both Windows and Mac clients for creating W3C XML Signature compliant digital signatures.

SecureXML Digital Signature Java Applet for Mac OS X has the same API as other platforms and hence you can write client-side JavaScript code for invoking the applet once and expect it to support both Mac and Windows platforms.

In order to try SecureXML for Mac OS X, you have two options:

1. Take SecureWebsign Server for a test drive. This option allows you to try SecureXML as an end user. You can upload your documents and sign them using SecureXML Java Applet, which will be downloaded on your machine automatically. Please note that form signing in SecureWebsign is currently not supported on Mac OS X. It is due to the differences between Internet Explorer and FireFox/Netscape browser and not due to any issues with SecureXML.



2. Request a trial license and full package download at this page and then download the Mac OS X version of the SecureXML Java Applet from here. The package that you download after receiving the trial license would need to be installed on a Windows machine. The package includes the programmer's reference and a sample application illustrating how to use SecureXML Java Applet from JavaScript. You can put the Mac OS X version of the Java Applet in place of the Windows version and try the sample applications. Once you have it working, you can modify it to fit your own application needs. Before attempting to create a signed document on Mac OS X platform, you would need to copy the license file e-mailed to you to /usr/local/infomosaic folder, which you would need to create. In a real life scenario, with the unlimited client license option offered by Infomosaic, you would not need this extra step. The SecureWebsign Server, for example is able to create signed documents on your Mac OS X machine without any license file installation. You too can do the same in your own application.
