request for reviewing our interoperability experiment report

[Nakagawa <nakagawa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear PKIX list members,

Korea PKI Forum, PKI Forum Singapore, Chinese Taipei PKI Forum, and Japan
PKI Forum are pleased to announce the completion of the Final Report for
the Experiment in PKI Interoperability in Asia region in 2002. These
four countries/areas have been conducting the Experiment in PKI
interoperability since 2001, and compiled the first report for the 2001
experiment in the middle of 2002. A report compiled this time is
extended version of the previous one. 

In 2002, we have conducted 3 experiments as follows: 

1) CA-CA Interoperability Experiment with Cross Certification / Cross
Recognition models;

2) Path Processing Experiment intending to Resolve the certificate path
processing issues of repository by clarifying the path processing logic
described in RFC3280;

3) PKCS#11 Experiment tempting to approach PKI application
interoperability using a commonly defined API (application interface).
The Final Report contains the recommended technical specifications and
the lessons learnt, which are valuable for CA operators, VA (validation
authority) and application developers when dealing with relevant
interoperability matters.

In addition to this overall project result document, other five documents
were developed as appendixes, which are: 
- Appendix 1. IWG Recommended Profiles
- Appendix 2. CA-CA Interoperability Interface Specification for
experiment
- Appendix 3. Certificate Path Processing Implementation Guideline
- Appendix 4. Certificate Path Processing Testing Guideline
- Appendix 5. PKCS#11 Testing

It will be highly appreciated if IETF members examine the
report and let us know your thoughts/comments.
You can download the report and the appendix from:
