Subject: RE: [pki-tc] PLEASE REVIEW draft Ask Vendors survey and vendor list
My biggest comment is just one of terminology. The US DoD, which is used in the survey as a driving force, uses the term Public Key Enablement (PKE) to capture these aspects of putting PKI into applications. This seems to be a term that is catching on in the industry. Doesn't it make sense to leverage that concept in this survey? > -----Original Message----- > From: Steve Hanna [mailto:Steve.Hanna@sun.com] > Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2004 6:24 AM > To: PKI TC > Subject: [pki-tc] PLEASE REVIEW draft Ask Vendors survey and vendor list > > Here's a quick update from the Ask Vendors SC > with several ACTION ITEMs for you at the bottom. > Please complete the ACTION ITEMs within a week, > if possible. > > The Ask Vendors SC has agreed to the following items: > > 1) Because of time differences, the Ask Vendors SC won't > hold regular meetings.
