Obviously an online application cannot be signed > conventionally. Does anyone know of a way or a work-around to accomplish this? In Europe, many banks only let you do Internet banking if you use a digital certificate that you enable after you receive a code by postal (snail) mail. The certificate is created online, but you need to enter a password defined by yourself everytime you want to use it. This is to reduce the chance that somebody does anything if they steal the certificate files from your disk. It is annoying because the certificate maybe lost in a hard disk crash, very frequent with Windows users that keep trying all the crap that they get from the Internet and they don't have a clue that they should take backup copies of the certifcate files. Some banks only let you create 3 copies of your certificate. I don't know if this solves your problem, but at least could be a means of demonstrating that who is accessing your site pages is somebody well known to your institution and the possibilities of fraud are low.
