  9. What does XKMS give us? • Low tier service • Certificate resolution • In a B2B world we know who we are dealing with-we can already resolve certs • Good to move to standard model • Higher level interface into PKI services • We have already developed these internally • Map our interfaces to those of XKMS • Higher tier services • More consumable application level trust services • Easier to map to business models and requirements

  10. B2B Issues • Operability across multiple domains • User centric key registration service vs. application level centric key registration service • Interoperability between domains • Trust relationship • User defined • Service defined • Business relevant trust attributes • Context of business • Meta data for acceptance

  11. B2B Issues • Service association • Information may be distributed • Third party attribute and service association • Rules for association • Privacy • Conditions for disclosure of information • User defined • Administration

  12. XKMS Adoption • Technical Framework • High level interfaces • SDKs tend to be clunky • Packaging is important • Service integration • Policy Framework • Aligned to business verticals? • Privacy • Standards Framework • XKMS (XKISS,XKRSS, XTASS), SAML, XACML, MPEG21… • ebXML, UDDI, LDAP….

  13. Challenges • Acceptance • Solve problems not just package them • Usability • High level interfaces • Configuration vs. coding • Interoperability • Relevant business context • Architectural consistency • Clearly identified boundaries and relationships between standards

  14. Recommendations • Push ahead with definition of lower tier service levels • Test against real ‘business driven’ scenarios • Outline scope and requirements for the provision of higher tier services • Map out relationships and interfaces to other standard activities operating in this space • Remove confusion, provide focus and prevent duplication
