Passive Web Page Signing

 We do it for applets, why not web pages?

The idea is simply to provide passive, sign-only certificates for sites that don't need encryption.

An online newspaper is a great example case. They serve mostly static content and could easily sign their static pages.

Advantages -saves crypto overhead -untrusted third party can do hosting

Disadvantages -only works for static content
