Is Gemalto Web Signer for Barclays safe?
Gemalto Web Signer for Barclays forwards signing inputs and PIN entry from Barclays signing pages to a local native host.
On scoped Barclays and related HTTPS signing pages, the extension reads web signer DOM inputs, selected certificate metadata, and PIN entry, then sends signing commands to the local native host com.gemalto.esignerwe. When a signature is returned, it posts signature fields and pass-through transaction data back to the page-provided reply URL. The behavior is limited to configured signing origins, not every site.

Shared hosts - 7 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
