The text of the TC submission is appended.

You now have until 15 March to familiarize yourself with the submission and provide input to your organization's voting
representative.

On 16 March, a Call For Vote will be issued to all Voting Representatives of OASIS member organizations. They will have
until the last day of March, inclusive, to cast their ballots on whether this Committee Specification should be approved
as an OASIS Standard or not.

Members who wish to discuss this ballot may do so through member-discuss@lists.oasis-open.org.

In accordance with the OASIS Technical Committee Process, this Committee Specification has already completed the
necessary 60-day public review period as noted in the submission below.

The normative TC Process for approval of Committee Specifications as OASIS Standards is found at
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#3.4

Any statements related to the IPR of this specification are posted at:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/dss/ipr.php

Your participation in the review and balloting process is greatly appreciated.

b)
Above.

c)
The chairs certify on behalf of the TC that they or the editors have verified all the schema files.

d)
The Digital Signature Services (DSS) specifications describe two XML-based request/response protocols - a signing
protocol and a verifying protocol. Through these protocols a client can send documents to a server and receive back a
signature on the documents; or send documents and a signature to a server, and receive back an answer on whether the
signature verifies the documents.

The DSS Core specification provide the basic protocols and elements which are adapted to support specific use cases in
the DSS profiles.

The DSS Time-stamp profile defines the use of the DSS Core protocols to support creation and verification of
time-stamps. The profile includes support for the creation of XML Time-stamps as defined in the Core and binary
time-stamps as defined in RFC 3161.

The DSS Asynchronous profile defines a simple mechanism for asynchronous DSS signing and verification requests.

The DSS Code-signing profile defines the use of the DSS Core protocols to support the signing of a software program.

The DSS J2ME Code-signing profile defines the use of the DSS Core protocols to support the signing of a software program
as specified in the Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME), Mobile Information Device Profile 2.0.

The DSS Entity seal profile defines the use of the DSS Core protocols to support creation and validation of a "seal"
created by a given Entity or Organization on electronic data.

The DSS EPM profile defines the use of the DSS Core protocols to support the Universal Postal Union's Electronic
PostMarking (also called Digital
PostMark) service.

The DSS German Signature Law profile defines the use of the DSS Core protocols to support creation and validation of
qualified signatures according to the guidelines given by the German signature law

The DSS AdES profile defines the use of the DSS Core to support the creation and verification of XML and binary Advanced
Electronic Signatures as defined in ETSI TS 101 733 and TS 101 903.

The DSS Signature Gateway profile defines the use of the DSS Core to support the transform of both signing technology
and credential logistics.

An outline description of DSS is given in the DSS Overview document and other published paper available through the DSS
TC homepage.
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/dss


e)
The OASIS DSS Core and profiles are related to the following:

1) OASIS legal XML - Court filing
The signature profiles defined for court filing includes a proxy profile 
which makes use of DSS.

2) IETF IETF RFC 3852 Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)
DSS supports creation and verification of signatures conforming to IETF 
RFC 3852 and preceding versions

3) W3C XML Signatures
DSS supports creation and verification of signatures conforming to W3C 
XML Signature

4) IETF RFC 3161 Timstamps
DSS supports the use of RFC 3161 timestamps as well as requests for RFC 
3161 timestamps through web services

5) ETSI TS 101 733 CMS Advanced Electronic Signatures (CAdES)
DSS supports creation and verification of signatures conforming to ETSI 
TS 101 733

6) ETSI TS 101 903 XML Advanced Electronic Signatures (XAdES)
DSS supports AdES profile creation and verification of signatures 
conforming to ETSI TS 101 903

7) Universal Postal Union - Electronic Post Mark
DSS supports signing services for the Universal Postal Union Electronic 
/ Digital Post Mark
