Dear all,
I would like to support Peter Sylvester, he wrote:

There is one point Denis raised, that is very important. I guess that we
can compare it with the digital/electronic signature issue:
The technical solutions for digital signatures (hash'n'sign) are quite
clear and I would say finalized, whereas the answer on the question what
a electronic signature as the future replacement for handwritten
signatures is can not be given as easily.

The cryptographic maintenance policy is one of the crucial points as it
is the signature policy for electronic signatures. This policy may be
explicit or implicit, but it *must* be there.

So I would suggst to extend a bit the discussion time. It is for
Long-Term and don't hurry up ;-)

Regards,
Ernst
