Re: [Muscle] muscle applet deletion of keys, change of parms

[Peter Tomlinson]

Work that I did for the eEurope Smart Cards GIF project last year took on board for editing a set of documents put together by a group of experts who had discussed national ID card scheme requirements across Europe. They came to the conclusion that a central administration (i.e. govt) would take to itself the roles of card issuer, application issuer, personal certificates issuer and key pair generator - and that the certificates in the card would never have their keys changed. If a key was to be revoked, the card would be re-issued. However, that would not stop a third party loading a second PKI app onto the card, probably using attribute certificates, and capable of having certificates deleted and new ones added.   See OSCIE GIF at www.eeurope-smartcards.org - click on OSCIE Index and download Volume 3.   Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Williams To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2004 5:21 PM Subject: Re: [Muscle] muscle applet deletion of keys, change of parms <Take peter Williams list of assumptions as read>       /
