Carl, I think the critique of the TSL work is well founded from the perspective of TAM, but there is nevertheless an important point here.
While TSL might not be an ideal standard for automated trust anchor management, very much caused by its mixed scope of fields for both human and machine consumption, it has despite this become a central component for efforts in Europe, supported by the EU commission, to provide a common framework for trust in CAs in Europe. There is a substantial risk that we will see two very different approaches that at least overlap in scope, which may harm interoperability. /Stefan On 09-07-10 1:50 PM, "Carl Wallace" <[email protected]> wrote: > This document has been discussed previously relative to TAF.
