Comments from an attendee on the EKMI webinar.  OASIS has his
permission to use his comments in limited ways.  Since this is
a closed list, I thought I'd share this with you all.

Thank you all for your support; without it none of this would
be possible.

Arshad,
Thanks for your quick response.  I appreciate the work that you and OASIS
are doing in the key management space.  While there are many difficult
problems to resolve, having a standard key management protocol that all
the vendors can use will be a huge improvement over what we have today.
This will act as the foundation upon which other solutions will build.  As
my company works to improve our key management policies and processes, I
was considering a home grown middleware approach to integrating the many
disparate key stores and key consumers in our infrastructure.  I didn't
like the idea of locking into a single vendor so I'm thrilled to discover
the work you are doing.  I look forward to studying what has been done so
far and hope to utilize this emerging standard within the strategy that
I'm developing.  Your work will both improve the overall security of our
data and reduce the cost of providing the necessary controls.

Thanks again for all of your leadership in this area.
Regards,
Bill

I managed to take care of it today, Bill.  You'll find the
updated presentation already on the OASIS website at the
same location.

If there are any other questions or comments you have about
the presentation, the technology or TC, please don't hesitate
to get in touch with me.
