I found this today in Census Canada web site http://www12.statcan.ca/IRC/english/advisory_e.htm May 11, 2006 Does the Linux operating system work with the census online application? Statistics Canada has chosen to use PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) encryption to provide the industrial strength security and data privacy that the 2006 Census Internet application requires. The PKI encryption of data starts at the browser and goes all the way to the end server at Statistics Canada. In order to enable PKI encryption at the respondent's browser, the application uses a small Java applet based on Entrust TruePass technology. At the time the Census application was developed, the version 7.1 of TruePass did not provide support for Linux. Although the most recent upgrade, TruePass version 8, now includes Linux, that development came too late for the census production schedule. We are currently investigating the feasibility of offering one option to open source users. Consult this site for the most recent update on our test results.
