eAuthentication
Workshop Kick-off meeting
The
kick
off meeting will be held in Brussels on
16 September,
2003
With
the completion of OSCIE, a CEN/ISSS
(pre)standardisation
of selected parts of the specification
has been
triggered to ensure that the documents
are subjected
to wider consultation and their
maintenance for
the near future is well assured.The
OSCIE parts
are being contributed to a new CEN/ISSS
Workshop
on eAuthentication for use in creation
of a set
of CEN Workshop Agreements.
The
OSCIE
parts being submitted for this CWA
process are
primarily the GIF Framework, Public
identity (TB
1) whitebook, multi-application (TB 7)
architecture
and the user requirements (TB 8) Best
Practice
Manual design guidelines relating to
IAS. This
is complementary to the OSCIE parts and
referenced
documents that are already (or in the
process
of becoming) recognised CWAs.
It is envisioned that during a second
phase the
resulting CWAs will be converted into
recognised
European Standard(s). Discussions with
CEN/TC224
as the relevant body on the
eAuthentication formal
standards issue are ongoing.
In
addition
to CEN/ISSS standardisation a concerted
Global
Standards Collaboration Forum with Japan
and USA
is active on getting a formal ISO/IEC
standard
for the common eAuthentication elements.

Draft Business Plan
CEN/ISSS hosted a
preliminary
meeting for a new CEN/ISSS Workshop on
eAuthentication
(WS/eAuth) on 23 April 2003, in
Brussels. The
Workshop offers the opportunity to
assist in establishing
a coordinated electronic approach
towards the
functionalities of cardholder
identification,
authentication and digital signature
mechanisms
in the European Union. This common
approach will
simplify life for citizens in the
information
society and help accelerate provision of
cost-effective
eGovernment services.
