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:

  
A full-blown standards effort that would (if 
  successful) be adopted by the browser vendors

  
An on-line signature market research.  Who is 
  using this and for what?

  
A research report on what the issues are 
  about

  
Signature product market research

  
Research on using browsers "as-is" (no 
  ActiveX etc) for creating novel signature and encryption schemes

  
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,
