Hello #Blind and #VisuallyImpaired community!
I'm having trouble signing PDF documents with a digital certificate using my #screenreader (NVDA on Windows). I can do it in Adobe Reader but it's quite cumbersome and requires sighted assistance.
Does anyone have a more accessible workflow or software recommendation for signing PDFs with a digital certificate using the keyboard and a screen reader? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Could you please #Boost this so it reaches more people? Thank you in advance! #Accessibility #NVDA #PDF #DigitalSignature #AssistiveTechnology @NVAccess

With the release of `nethsm-cli` 0.6.0 it is now possible to issue signatures for signing requests!

https://crates.io/crates/nethsm-cli/0.6.0

Signing requests for files can be created using `signstar-request-signature` (see https://chaos.social/@dvzrv/113646761365294969).

With the release 0.4.0 of the nethsm-cli crate we have made the #CLI parsing more robust!

https://crates.io/crates/nethsm-cli/0.4.0

The nethsm executable continues to shape up as a versatile tool for interfacing with #Nitrokey #NetHSM (virtual or hardware) for generic operations.

The #nethsm crate has just been released in version 0.7.0.

https://crates.io/crates/nethsm/0.7.0

In this version we added several improvements for the use with #OpenPGP (such as updating to the latest #rPGP) and added integration for validated key setups.

We have just released the first version of the nethsm-tests crate

https://crates.io/crates/nethsm-tests/0.1.0

This library helps to test against #NetHSM #containers and has been split out of the nethsm crate.

Shouldn't the police be providing some kind of verifiable credential, a digital signature, to prove that it's really the police making these requests? Wouldn't that solve the problem? At the very least, use Pretty Good Privacy.
