Subject: RE: [ubl-security] Regarding detached signatures


I agree too. As Oriol suggests we should avoid to overlap with any local
legislation and also other standard body scope.
As there is no agreement on adding detached signature, I suggest we close
this document fixing the small issues now open and start the public review.
I also propose, to better understand real user requirements, to prepare a
questionnaire asking about any format/form/issue that should be covered by
this profile and/or new ones. 
Another issue we should start to think about is confidentiality. This will
likely require some modification to the UBL syntax (or maybe we can use a
minimal UBL with the real UBL message encrypted into an extension?).

I also attach here the draft document from CEFACT TBG6 (Title: Digital
Evidence Recommendation; this is the new name that was decided at the last
CEFACT meeting last week; the document I have is not updated yet) . I can
collect any comment and report back to TBG6. The same I'd like to do with
our document, when it's in its final version.

Andrea

Absolutely agree, it is not up to UBL decide on the legislation that  
can be different in different countries.
