Re: [egov] RE: e-NOTARIZATION STANDARDS

["Chiusano Joseph" <chiusano_joseph@bah.com>]

The OASIS Signature Services TC may be tackling this aspect, although
from [1] it appears that they are on the fringe of this. We might want
to confirm with someone from this TC whether or not CA validation is in
their current scope.

This topic is also the primary focus of the WS-Trust [2] specification.
WS-Trust is part of GXA, the Global XML Web Services Architecture, and
is not currently an open standard. I would recommend tracking the
progress of this specification.
