The OASIS Public Key Infrastructure Technical Committee (PKI TC) has been proposed by the following members of OASIS: Terry Leahy, Wells Fargo; Jeff Stapleton, KPMG LLP; Peter Doyle, Baltimore Technologies; Derek Brink, RSA Security; John Sabo, Computer Associates; and Patrick Kanaishi, Neucom Corporation. The proposal for a new TC meets the requirements of the OASIS TC Process (see http://oasis-open.org/committees/process.shtml), and is appended to this message. The proposal, which includes a statement of purpose, list of deliverables, and proposed schedule, will constitute the TC's charter. The TC Process allows these items to be clarified (revised) by the TC members; such clarifications (revisions), as well as submissions of technology for consideration by the TC and the beginning of technical discussions, may occur no sooner than the TC's first meeting.

Statement of Purpose Many organizations worldwide are developing strategies to a) utilize digital certificates to provide higher levels of security, b) make applications certificate aware. and c) promote the deployment of digital certificates for many business purposes including digital signatures. The purpose of the PKI TC is to address issues related to the successful deployment of digital certificates to meet business and security requirements, as well as technical and integration/interoperability issues. Furthermore, the PKI TC will increase the awareness of digital certificates as an important component when managing access to network resources, delivering secured electronic messages and conducting secure electronic transactions. The PKI TC will also provide a forum for a broad community utilizing PKI and digital certificates in application-focused standards and projects, as well as a mechanism for the creation of documents related to the implementation of PKI internationally. The goals of the TC are: 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 3. List of Deliverables A very wide range of topics will be addressed by the TC, and it is expected that several sub-committees will be formed. TC deliverables will include: - business implementation guideline white papers - technical implementation guideline white papers - best practice and sample implementations - applications white papers - forums for networking, information sharing and implementation of PKI-related projects - solutions showcase. The TC recognizes the importance of advancing the understanding and applicability of XML-based PKI standards as well as other broader Web services and security standardization effort within OASIS of which PKI is a component of. Such standards including: XKMS, WS-Security, the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), the XML Access Control Markup Language (XACML), the Rights Language, the Service Provisioning Markup Language (SPML) and XML Common Biometric Format (XCBF), and Digital Signature Services (DSS) protocol. Specific work-plan and deliverables will be developed based on TC and OASIS member input. 4. Business Language English (USA) 5.
