Summary of ETSI/ESI activities Andrea Caccia ETSI/ESI TB member Note: This document expresses only the views of its author
ETSI - European Telecommunications Standards Institute • produce globally applicable standards for Information & Communications Technologies • is recognised as an official European Standards Organisation by the European Union • international reputation is built on openness, discussion, consensus and direct input from members • Agreements with External Bodies • CAB (Certification Authority/Browser) Forum: Letter of Intent • ENISA (European Network and Information Security Agency): Memorandum of Understanding • ISO: Liaison Category A with ISO TC 154 (Processes, data elements and documents in commerce, industry and administration), Liaison Category D with ISO TC171/SC 2/WG 8 (PDF specification) • ISOC/IETF: Active working relationships • OASIS: Memorandum of Understanding • UPU (Universal Postal Union): Memorandum of Understanding
ETSI Electronic Signatures and Infrastructures (ESI) TC • TC ESI is responsible for Electronic Signatures and Infrastructures standardization within ETSI • ETSI/ESI plays a key role in the development of electronic signature related standards: • Signature formats: XAdES (TS 101 903) ->ISO, CAdES (TS 101 733) ->ISO, PAdES (TS 102 778) ->ISO and ASiC (TS 102 918) and related profiles • Trust Service Provider (TSP) Status Information (TSL, TS 102 231) • Policy requirements for CAs: TS 102 042, TS 101 456 (Qual. Cert.) • TSA policy requirements: TS 102 023 • Certificate profiles: TS 101 862 (Qual. Cert.), TS 102 280 (Nat. Persons) • Registered Electronic Mail (eDelivery): TS 102 640 (multipart) • Data preservation: TS 101 533-1, TR 101 533-2 • Algo paper: TS 102 176 • Collaborates with ETSI CTI, Centre for Testing and Interoperability for Plugtests events
M460 European Commission mandate • EC founded eSignatures standardization activities • 4 years: 2011-2014 • 1st phase (executed) • definition of a rationalized standardization framework, in collaboration with CEN • several specifications upgrades primarily aimed at providing quick technical fixes to existing electronic signatures standards, and definition of test specifications • 2nd phase (starting by end 2012) • implement the rationalized standardization framework • support the new EU Regulation on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market (exp. approval by end 2013)
Details on M460 phase 1 • Rationalised Framework definition (STF 425) • Inventory of eSignature Standards (worldwide) • Rationalised Framework Definition • Gap Analysis & Work Plan • Quick Fixes • STF 427 (CSP Conformity Assessment, QC profile, Sig. Validation Procedures, Sig. algorithms maintenance) • STF 426 (X/C/PAdES & ASiC baseline profiles) • STF 428 (XAdES conformance testing, PAdES & ASiC interoperability tests) • CEN (Update CWA 14169 & CWA 14167 towards EN’s) • Stakeholders Workshop
ETSI REM TS 102 640 overview • Registered Electronic Mail: • Secure Electronic Mail service • able to generate trusted electronic evidence attesting that certain relevant events (submission by sender, delivery to the recipient, right fowarding, etc) have actually occurred. • Added value: Electronic evidences, which, when supported by legislation, have also legal value • Technical Specification for achieving interoperability on evidential services based on S/MIME on SMTP and services built on SOAP on HTTP (UPU Postal Registered Electronic Mail, BUSDOX networks)
Electronic Evidence • Sender and REM Management Domain related events: original message acceptance/rejection, object relay acceptance/rejection, etc. • Recipient related events: delivery/non delivery to recipient, download/non download by recipient, etc. • Interaction with non REM systems. • Specified evidence core components. Syntaxes: XML, ASN.1 and PDF. • May be individually signed (each one in its own format) or/and collectively signed through a S/MIME signature. Specified signature profile.
