Firefox plugin to capture signature (via stylus/tablet)

Question

I am wondering if anyone has any experience capturing signatures with a tablet/stylus over the internet.
How would you write a plug-in that uses an ActiveX control and can securely post the signature over the web?

Or maybe you've got a better idea how to handle this...

Thanks in advance.

[EDIT] To be more specific, I need something that can hook up to a signature pad like you would use at Best Buy to make a legal signature.

I would somehow use flash that would draw to a bitmap, then encode them as an image then upload them to your server.

After a few minutes of googling, i found this.
