+Title: Certificate and Key Widgets
+Date: 2010-10-08
+Tags: technical, security, gnome
+Slug: certificate-and-key-widgets
+
+The new certificate and key view widgets are now merged into
+gnome-keyring master. They live in [libgcr][]: a library for crypto UI
+widgets and crypto helpers.
+
+The goal of the widgets are to have a simple mode, where only the
+information needed for a user to uniquely identify a certificate is
+displayed. The widget can be expanded to show all the details about the
+certificate.

+Details expanded.
+
+At GUADEC [Matthew Paul Thomas][] helped us design a nice certificate
+selector, and I'm working on implementing that.
