2. The PKI environment c. 2006 n PKI is resurgent n Embedded PKI is commonplace n We’re all in the midst of a paradigm shift to identity plurality n Digital Certificates can be about relationships as well as (or instead of) personal identity n Successful PKI has always been application specific, not general purpose

3. Resurgent, embedded PKI n Closed (vertical) schemes l US PIV, Identrus, ICAO e-passports, CableLabs, Skype, BankID (Sweden) n Health smartcards l France, Germany, Taiwan, Italy, Austria, Australia … n Digital Credentials l US Patent Office, France, Taiwan, Australia …

4. Identity plurality n “Identity 2.0” (archetype: Cardspace) l Too soon to tell precise outcomes l But it’s a progressive re-think of identity, context, privacy, control etc. l Fundamental concept is plurality of identities. n Stephen Kent’s critique: “For big CAs, there is an implicit assumption that a single certificate is all that a user should need. This assumes that one identity is sufficient for all applications, which contradicts experience”

5. The top five obstacles According to OASIS Surveys 1 & 2: 1. Software applications don’t support PKI 2. Costs too high 3. PKI poorly understood 4. Too much focus on technology (not need) 5. Poor interoperability

6. PKIA TC: Fresh objectives n Continue to overcome obstacles with targeted practical initiatives that improve understanding of PKI n Disseminate case studies n Develop position papers n Liaise more closely with other OASIS efforts, esp. under the umbrella of the new IDtrust Member Section

7. Embedded PKI application: Device authentication Some of the oldest, most successful PKIs are for device authentication: n GSM SIM cards n SSL server certificates n IPsec VPN devices n Cable Open TV set-top boxes

8. Embedded PKI application: Skype n Each Skype subscriber receives a digital certificate embedded in Skype install n “Zero User Interface” (ZUI) principle; i.e. Subscriber unaware of their certificate! n http://share.skype.com/sites/security

9. Embedded PKI application: Medicos’ smartcards n France (500,000) n Taiwan (300,000) n Australia (10,000) l wide range of PKI enabled lodgments l electronic prescribing in development l certificates represent doctor’s qualifications l wholesale supply to hospitals etc.

10. Case Studies n Digital Signatures deployed in US Notary n Digital Signatures used in an international clinical company improve workflow and efficiency. n Certificates provided to Health Care Providers in Australia for business to government transactions.
