A Progressive Web Appplication uses modern web capabilities to deliver an app-like user experience, these applications are sometimes built as isomorphic web applications. In these cases, much of the code that runs on the client also runs the server.

This combination of approaches and the various technologies that make them possible are being used to build a new class of web applications that can often come together quicker and in many cases are indistinguishable from native applications.

So much so, thanks to Electron, you can often wrap these web applications as "native applications". These web-native applications look great too, if you use Slack or Visual Studio Code you know what I am talking about.

I believe Web Crypto is a great addition to this toolchain. With the Web Crypto these applications can incorporate strong,

We do security-oriented development in Javascript on both the server (Node) and in the browser and strive to share code whenever possible. This led us to build a few different libraries based on Web Crypto, the first of which was PKIjs.

The first commit to PKIjs, our PKI library for browsers based on Web Crypto, was in February of 2014. When we started this project Web Crypto was basically only supported by Chrome. Today that picture has changed a lot and all major browsers support it to varying degrees.

Using Web Crypto made sense to use as the cryptographic library for this project for a few reasons, one of the largest being the risks associated with Javascript based cryptography.

Though browser support for Web Crypto has improved significantly there are still a [few rough edges](https://www.boxcryptor.com/de/blog/post/bui

WebPKI and Digital Signature related M&A + Investment + Public Offerings

• This was inspired by Matt Suiche's great post on cyber security M&A related activity; there is some overlap but not much.
• This is all public data.
• I have also intentionally excluded sales of WebPKI key material, not only are these prices not public but they are usually very special cases that are in-essence impossible to compare effectively.
• I have also included HSMs, Smart card, Digital signatures and CA related software companies in this list as it seems relevant.
