Hey Sebastian,

Originally, my thought had been that we could start signing the Java applet. 
However, given that Tiziana, and crew have built a Flash-based client. I 
think in the short term, that’s probably the best way forward. In the medium 
to long term, I’d love to see NDT’s protocol’s get changed to make them 
usable with HTML 5. Long story, short, if we can make the Flash client do 
what we want, it’s probably best to deprecate the Java applet.

Cheers,
Aaron
