Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

In this paper, we present an initial approach to the problem of specifying formally the requirements of the Certification Policy as published by a Certification Authority. The approach uses the XML language to describe the structure of the policy document, and attempts to provide a canonical representation of the document in order to allow the semantics of the policy to be described. The ultimate aim is to permit policies to be compared, thus allowing a degree of trust to be inferred between entities holding certificates issued by otherwise unconnected Certification Authorities.
