Hello I currently work as a free lance consultant in the field of IT management. I have a functional understanding of encryption technologies and authentication protocols (SSL, PKI and late SET�) I am gathering information on the dynamics of encryption protocols market and derived software applications market. (e.g digital signature applications in an ERP environment). I would really appreciate you could provide me with guidelines or directions on the following topics: 1. What is the general business landscape of authentication protocols today? (market drivers, knowledge sources (maths and technology integration), stakeholders, vendors, customers, service providers, etc..) 2. Does US federal regulation on encryption (i.e strong authentication) mechanisms impose to companies developing and/or implementing such technology to provide access (or to publish) to the source of the encryption mechanism implemented (e. g access to a �root key� that would be used to sign authentication certificates)? 3. If yes, do these regulation apply to US based (registered) companies (vendors and clients?) only? Does it apply to any company implementing the related technology? 4. How do these specific regulation constraints influence the business development (especially export) of these US vendors (as compared with a Swiss based vendor for example)?
Thank you very much in advance for your help and guidance in this matter. Sincerely St�phane ROGER e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
