Policy and Privacy Working Group Meeting Report

Research Information Project

Review existing PKI policy guidelines and certificate policies for inclusion on the Web Site. Establish links to the Australian comparative site.

Action: Recommend BOD support for Virtual follow-up 

Research Information Project

Develop a framework (toolkit?) for planning policy and procedure development in support of PKI implementation. It is a tool to define process of implementing PKI and provide scoping to help PKI implementers in the development of their organization’s policy. This will also help organizations through the maze of documentation required for PKI. Possible components include:

 • PKI Policy Questionnaire• Selected PKI Policies and Documents• PKI Policy Development Plan • Templates, Guidelines and Support Resources• Entities which must be engaged.  Action: Interim meeting scheduled for April 27 in

Washington, DC.

Project – White Paper

Write a white paper describing how PKI, currently and in the future, can enable e-business beyond providing authentication and data integrity security services. The white paper will focus on three business areas: law enforcement, health care, and financial services. It will address privacy and data protection mandates in these sectors, as well as issues such as archive, business continuity, and off-line retention and management of business information. This will also serve as input to the Technical Working Groups on what business requires in order to make the emerging PKI confusion into a (hopefully) seamless and transparent experience for the end user.

Action: Business areas assigned and draft due for June meeting

Project – White Paper

Prepare a white paper examining the principal requirements of UETA and the U.S. E-sign bill as against the European qualified certificate and signature and other major international electronic signature laws and consider how to have applications systems that must operate with both, and must be able to detect their characteristics.

Action: Deferred

Project – White Paper

Write a white paper to understand, compare and differentiate audit requirements used by bodies such as AICPA, APEC, Australia's Gatekeeper, Italy's AIPA, Identrus, etc. Working with these bodies, the paper will identify where requirements are identical and where they differ and address the interoperability of audit requirements.

Action: Assigned, Arthur Andersen lead project
