keygen html tag on iOS6, how to make it work ?

The Safari reference manual indicates that the tag has been available since iOS 1.0.

Is there some trick to make it work ?

 

All I get is an empty dropdown, when browsing with Safari on an iPad (iOS 6.1.3).  Posting the form does not perform key generation.

Using the iOS Simulator 6 also provides the same results: empty dropdown, no keygen.

 

This test site hosted by the Mozilla.org provides a basic keygen test.  The page renders correctly with Safari on OSX (also Mozilla, and Chrome on OSX).

Do I need to install additional software on my iPad ?
