Subject: Call for Participation, Next PKIA TC Con Call
Dear All This is a special call for IDtrust and PKIA TC members to participate in our next Conference Call (scheduled for next week, at a time TBC; Dee will advise shortly). We're working hard to re-energise the PKI Technical Committee, by focusing on awareness raising and normative policy positions on hot topics like interoperability and legal liability. Most agree PKI is in the midst of a strong revival, but we need to restore momentum in pivotal policy matters, because so much confusion remains around governance, light touch implementation, and business processes. You may have seen a series of background papers from me, intended as thought-starters. I've provided the links below. I hope that everyone can now take a few minutes to read our draft PKI Adoption TC Strategic Plan, at http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/pki/download.php/24444/OASIS%20PKIA%20TC%20Plan%20%282.0%20Public%29%20070620.doc ============================= EXEC SUMMARY PKI is resurgent worldwide, driven by new wave e-business applications in need of robust electronic signatures, especially for totally paperless transacting. Embedded private keys and certificates are increasingly commonplace across a wide range of “personal authentication devices” including smartcards, mobile phones and SIM cards, and applications and appliances such as IP telephony clients and cable TV set-top boxes. In the main, most practical new applications of PKI tend to diverge from the original concept of PKI as a general purpose naming scheme. It is vital that policy formulations, liability frameworks and quality control mechanisms keep up with these real world developments. The PKIA TC calls for participation from all OASIS IDtrust members and PKI industry stakeholders in our pragmatic new work program, as outlined in the rest of this document.
