The OASIS Digital Signature Services TC is developing techniques to support
the processing of digital signatures, including defining an interface for
requesting that a web service produce and/or verify a digital signature.
The TC has recently agreed two Committee Draft specifications:
- Digital Signature Service (DSS) Core Protocols, Elements and Bindings,
available at
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dss/cd/oasis-dss-1[1].0-core-spec-cd.pdf
- XML Timestamping DSS Profile, available at:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dss/cd/oasis-dss-1[1].0-profiles-timestamping-spe
c-cd.pdf
The DSS schema is available at:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dss/cd/oasis-dss-1[1].0-core-schema-cd.xsd.xml
Additional DSS profiles nearing completion for:
- Asynchronous operation
- Code signing
- Entity seal
- Electronic Post Mark (EPM)
- German signature law
- Policy wise operation
- Web services security
- XML Advanced Electronic Signature (XAdES)
Comments may be sent via the OASIS DSS web page:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=dss
Once the first set of profiles have been agreed as Committee Drafts, the TC
will be asking for a more formal public review of the full set of
specifications.
