Short Presentation for Project:“Unified ISIS-MTT-Specifications for Interoperability and Test Systems“
TeleTrusT - General • Promoting the trustworthiness of information and communication technology • Applied Cryptography & Biometrics • founded in 1989 • 110 members: major user sectors, research organisations, developers and manufacturers of security products, government agencies, and test institutes. • non-profit, political independent

Singatur) Zeitstempeldienst VPN Single Sign On weitere PKI-Dienste European Bridge-CA „E-Business“ ISIS-MTTCommon ISIS-MTT Specification for Interoperability and Test Systems
Objectives of the project: • Synthesis of already available specifications towards a unified and open standard. • This standard should take into account the current technical and legal requirements and should receive active support by the market players. • Development of a test specification and a test bench, which allows the applications developers to prove their ISIS-MTT-interoperability • Investment protection for users because of exchange-ability of single components.
Involved partner organizations: T7 e. V. i. G.(direct) (ISIS-Spec.) • interest group of leading (german) providers of certification services . TeleTrusT e. V. (direct) (MailTrusT-Spec.) • competence association of major companies and organizations concerned with trusted digital communication. Additional Bodies comprise (selection): • AG INDI (indirect) • Bundesverband Deutscher Banken (indirect) • Media@kom-Projektpartner (indirect) • Arbeitsgemeinschaft Karten im Gesundheitswesen (indirect)

Actions planned for 2002 • Development of a usable test bench for realistic test of applications and services. • Awarding of a “Quality Seal” for applications with proven interoperability. • Further development of ISIS-MTT specification. • Further contribution from the specification to the international standardization. • Strengthening of public relations and project management. • Development of a XML-Profile.
Core theses for ISIS-MTT: • ISIS-MTT is a free-of-charge offering to PKI integration to all applications developers. • ISIS-MTT is internationally aligned, existing standards are used an extended • ISIS-MTT defines a complete security architecture: encryption, authentication and signing. • ISIS-MTT provides for different security levels; legal binding according to German signature law is just an option. • ISIS-MTT interoperability criteria are publicly defined and provable through a test bench.

ISIS-MTT-Lessons learned: • Don´t discuss the legal aspects too much, you can´t find a 100 percent solution! (not even 80 %) • To get a committment for a profile like ISIS-MTT is hard work, lobbying doesn´t work via e-mail. • Try to understand the needs of the different markets, but take care about „specific requirements“ which are propriatory. • Keep the project interesting, the work is never done.(Testbench, XML....
