        Submitter's message
        This is the packaged version of the draft submitted on 2013-DEC-19 to kavi by the editor including all source material and other artifacts.

It shall serve as basis for the to be requested ballot for the tc members to promote the contained draft to committee specification draft.

If the ballot approves this step, we may well entertain a subsequent motion and after that request another ballot for the question, if the chairs shall request from tc admin to start the public review (where it seems advisable to do this for after the usual holiday period, so it will get more attention from potential reviews).

Description
The core OASIS Digital Signature Service webservice [DSSCore] supports the
creation of signatures on behalf of applications and / or users by
utilizing server-based signature keys.
This Local Signature Computation profile extends the core functionality
such that end users can bring (use) their own (secure) signature-creation
device. Examples of such devices are smartcards or usb-tokens but also
smartphones, mobile phones, tablets, pc's or laptops with privately held
signature keys.
Three solutions are presented to support the varying capabilities of
applications and different use cases. The first solution is useful for
web-applications where web browsers can access the (secure)
signature-creation device that is available at the desktop (e.g. a
smartcard connected via USB). The second solution is useful for
applications that can access the (secure) signature- creation device
themselve, for instance desktop applications or smartphone apps. The third
solution is useful for any application where the (secure)
signature-creation device can only be accessed via a separate channel, for
instance a mobile device, through a third-party.
