Subject: Re: [pki-guidelines] Potential dates/times for AGSC meeting


Since there are very few active members in the AGSC I think that it would be of interest to get a call with more people than we currently seem to gather.  As an alternative we could have a straw poll on in which direction the TPKI is to be headed.  A non-exhaustive list of directions include:
  1. A full-blown standards effort that would (if successful) be adopted by the browser vendors
  2. An on-line signature market research.  Who is using this and for what?
  3. A research report on what the issues are about
  4. Signature product market research
  5. Research on using browsers "as-is" (no ActiveX etc) for creating novel signature and encryption schemes
  6. Publishing other organizations' reports on their use of on-line signatures
I'm personally already into #1, but can (continue to) contribute to #2 and #3.  #4 is a problem since the characteristics of most systems are covered by NDAs which limit the possibilities to publish much else than a list of product + vendor.  Regarding #5, I have tried hard obtaining information on this but all I have got to date indicates that it doesn't work.
 
I believe items #2 and #6 would be most suitable as they are in line with other PKI-TC work, which is more a PKI promotion and education effort than about detailed descriptions of technology and solutions.

I'll be on vacation that week. But you may
proceed without me if you like.

Thanks,
