Plugout browser integration
Personal Desktop enables signing/authentication in web browsers without plugins using the plugout technology where Personal Desktop is triggered from the browser page. Hermod is the server API used to trigger the web browser signing and the server API is identical whether you will sign/authenticate using Personal Desktop or authenticate out-of-band using a mobile device.
See Plugout web browser integration for more detailed descriptions.
