  4. Finish Off Phase Two Work – From Proof of Concept to Pilot • Add UCOP & UTH-HSC by Incorporating VeriSign • Continue Development of Path Discovery Software and Harden for Production Use • Split Registry of Directories in two: .edu and .gov • Complete CA Product Interoperability Work Within Bridge Membrane (Entrust-RSA/DST interop) • Reinstall NIH CAM/DAVE • Move NIH CA to DST for trust anchor • Produce How-To Documentation for Cross-Certifying University CAs with HEBCA

  6. New NIH “Phase Three” Work • Automate receipt of signed grant application and validation of digital signatures • Automate return receipt e-mail per GPEA requirement • Build prototype signed document archive that satisfies National Archives and Records Administration requirements for storing signed digital documents • Continue work to make desktop app bridge-aware (replace reliance on internal trust lists to trust in bridge trust path delivery process).

  7. Other Work • Support institutionalization of Higher Ed Bridge CA • Policy Authority instantiation • Bridge Operational Authority support • NMI Interactions

  8. Enough Acronyms for You? • All Questions Welcome • Just Throw Money
