Workgroup Details

 

Objective:

Define process, artifacts and standards for transaction and document bundle digital signatures for esMD. Define credentials, artifacts and process for Delegation of Rights for esMD.

Makeup:

 

Requirements:


Digital Signatures:

  • Must provide for non-repudiation as part of the credentials and artifacts
  • Must ensure data integrity


Delegation of Rights:

  • Must provide for non-repudiation (NIST definition) as part of the credentials and artifacts
  • Revocable

 

In Scope:


Digital Signatures:

  • Use Case 1 and 2 transactions
  • AoR L1 (Signature binding to aggregated document bundle)
  • Signature workflow
  • Signature artifacts
  • Identification of relevant standards


Delegation of Rights:

  • Use Case 1 and AoR L1 Delegation of Rights requirements
  • Delegation/Proxy workflow
  • Delegation/Proxy artifacts
  • Identification of relevant standards

 

Out of Scope:


Digital Signatures & Delegation of Rights:

  • AoR L2
  • AoR L3

 

Deliverable: Summary White Paper
