The purpose of the OASIS PKI TC is to provide an international forum for software vendors, industry, government, and implementers to internationally discuss issues, share solutions, and develop white papers with respect to addressing:
- business and security needs
- technical interoperability
- enabling business applications
- increasing awareness of available solutions, applications, and successful deployment
- coordination with other TCs in areas of overlap or mutual interest
