whitepaper AutoPKI: A PKI Resources Discovery System?2007-08-01 Dartmouth College
  The central goal of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is to enable trust judgments between distributed users. Although certificates play a central role in making such judgments, a PKI's users need more than just knowledge of certificates. Minimally, a relying party must able to locate critical parameters such the certificate repositories and certificate validation servers relevant to the trust path under consideration. Users in other scenarios may require other resources and services. Surprisingly, locating these resources and services remains a largely unsolved problem in real-world X.509 PKI deployment. This paper presents the design and prototype of a new and flexible solution for automatic discovery of the services and data repositories are available from a Certificate Service Provider (CSP).

whitepaper Electric Bill Presentment and Payment - The Gateway to One-on-one Customer Relationships2007-07-07 Personix
  The benefi ts of electronic bill presentment and payment (EBPP) are undeniable. Although its promises have been promoted for a decade, it has fi nally reached critical mass in the market with the number of electronic bill payments surpassing checks in 2006. However, the technical and financial effort required for a biller to implement an in-house EBPP solution can be both challenging and expensive.

whitepaper The Digital Signature Paradox2007-07-07 ProofSpace
  Paradox is a term often associated with Hollywood's fanciful time travel; however in the real world a time paradox does in fact exist. The system clock is the immediate source of time for any computer; and is the sole source for a time stamp determining when a document was created, modified and printed; or more interestingly when a digital signature was generated.   
whitepaper Electronic Signature Assurance and the Digital Chain of Evidence2007-07-07 ProofSpace
  This white paper defines the life cycle of an electronically signed record and describes the equivalence requirements throughout its retention period. A risk management framework is presented that defines a generic Digital Chain of Evidence that guides the architectural choices available in deploying an electronic signature solution.   
whitepaper Adobe Solutions for the SAFE Standard2007-05-01 Adobe Systems
  SAFE has helped to significantly advance the legal, business, and technical outlook for electronic transactions worldwide. By standardizing on Adobe PDF, SAFE has also taken a significant step toward promoting the ubiquity of electronically signed documents. In turn, Adobe's built-in support for the SAFE standards demonstrates the flexibility and capability of Acrobat and Reader. Acrobat and Reader require minimal customization and interoperate directly with the standards-based PKI infrastructure of SAFE. Perhaps most important, this means that PDF signatures with Acrobat and Reader work more like traditional paper signatures than any other solution.   
whitepaper The Directory-Enabled PKI Appliance: Digital Signatures Made Simple, Approach and Real World Experience2007-02-28 ARX
  This paper presents a novel approach for a PKI based digital signature system for documents in an enterprise setting. A centralized appliance securely stores users' private signing keys. The appliance interfaces with the existing enterprise directory to automatically provision users' keys and certificates. Users authenticate to the appliance using their existing directory credentials in order to access their signing keys. Client applications send document hash values to the appliance to be signed therefore the signing keys themselves never leave the appliance. Streamlined user interface methods enable easy acceptance by users, while streamlined management enables minimal ongoing investment by IT staff. Real world experience with the described system is presented and shows successful deployment in a variety of organizations and markets.

whitepaper A New Paradigm in PKI Architecture: OTPK Technology for Online Digital Signature2007-02-26 Data Security Systems Solutions
  This paper presents a paradigm shift in PKI architectures. The OTPK concept is alarmingly simple to understand. Whenever a digital signature is required, the private key is generated, certified, used to compute the digital signature and immediately deleted. All that remains is the digital signature and the public key certificate from the Certification Authority (CA) that is used to verify the digital signature. There is no possible compromise on the private key, no need for user smart cards/USB tokens, no need for CRLs, no need for LDAP directories, no need for OCSP. It is compliant to international digital signature laws.

whitepaper A Scalable PKI for a National Grid Service2007-02-01 National Grid Service Support Centre
  This paper describes work to expand the PKI for the UK National Grid Service (NGS), to integrate it with site authentication and improve usability. This work is complementary to the UK Shibboleth deployment. As the NGS grows to support wider and larger scientific communities, the paper investigate how to improve usability by tying in Virtual Organisation management into the PKI framework.
