Re: US e-Gov dep. turns to gateway PKI

Dear Peter,
 
http://middleware.internet2.edu/pki05/proceedings/10-kailar-phinms.ppt
 
The IMO rather illustrative referenced slide show, displays a basic O2O process using server-based signing at the organization-only-level as the way of achieving message integrity and authentication. This is not end-to-end security, this is gateway/domain security.
 
BTW, the 11MB slide show does as far as I can see, not reference the Federal PKI.
 
Since the FPKI WG to date have not published any documents with guidelines, or specifications on how to apply FPKI to collaborative O2O processes, this discussion gets somewhat less fruitful.  My papers indicate that it may not be possible to produce such documents either as the end-to-end security model, particularly with respect to encryption is not technically realistic to use in the referenced scenario.  Due to this, I encourage the FPKI-WG to begin considering a revision of the FPKI architecture.
