Using a SSL certificate on an Android device (HTML 5 Chrome application)

11,723

SSL communications can involve certificates installed to both the client and server. An IIS website can be configured to require a client side certificate is installed.

Regarding Android, current versions do not support leveraging an installed client side certificate through the browser. This thread is tracking this particular feature.

    We are creating a browser based HTML5 application targeted for Android devices through the Chrome browser. Security is a chief concern and beyond userid/password requirements, the company also desires to ensure each user has a proper SSL certificate installed before granting access.

    Does this even make sense, and if so, can someone provide some resources where I can research this further?

    I always thought the cert was stored on the server to secure a session between itself and a client. But I am not aware of the browser somehow providing an installed cert to a server that ensures it is a valid client.

    Haven't tried it out myself, but this is supposably fixed now.
