------- Forwarded Message To: John Gilmore <hoptoad!gnu@uunet.UU.NET> Subject: FYI: New report on public public-key infrastructure available Date: Tue, 01 Dec 92 19:37:12 +0000 From: Mike Roe <Michael.Roe@cl.cam.ac.uk> In Europe, an EC-funded project called PASSWORD (`Piloting Authentication and Security Services Within OSI Research and Development') aims to deploy an initial pilot service of privacy and integrity enhanced mail (and several more exotic applications) between academic and industrial organisations throughout Europe. The plans for how we intend to do certificate-based key management are described in a report entitled ``PASSWORD R2.5: Certification Authority Requirements''. Version 1.0 of this report is available by anonymous FTP from: ftp.cl.cam.ac.uk (128.232.0.56) reports/mrr-passwords.dvi.Z I realise that you're probably far too busy with other matters right now, but if you have any comments to make we'd be delighted to hear them. Yours sincerely, Michael Roe Cambridge University Computer Lab Computer Security Group ------- End of Forwarded Message John here. I have pulled this file down and translated it to PostScript (which I haven't tried to read yet). It's in cygnus.com:/pub/mrr-passwords.ps. The "DVI" format he provided is sort of like object files output by TeX; I have no idea why he didn't just provide us the TeX source, or the printable PostScript. John
