"promote the deployment of the deployment of digital certificates for
many business purposes including digital signatures. The purpose of
the PKI TC is to address issues related to the successful deployment
of digital certificates to meet business and security requirements, as well
as technical and integration/interoperability issues"

As most of us probably have noticed, the web has become a ubiquitous
channel for information exchange, including advanced services such as
on-line banking.

However, this channel does not support digital signatures except through
proprietary and NDA protected products, giving high costs and zero
interoperability.

My question to the PKI-TC members is simply: How do you intend
to in a practical way address this "standards deficit", which obviously
does not promote the use of digital signatures?
