6 million residents of Hongkong. |
| Work Performed: |
Installation of certificate registration
components in the test deployment in Massachusetts and the
production deployment in Hongkong.
PKI training in Massachusetts, San Jose, and Hongkong for HP, GTE,
and HK post employees.
Participated on the design and architecture team with GTE. Charged
with building a key escrow system for user encryption keys.
Designed, developed, and delivered a PKCS11 security provider for
the Netscape browser. |
| Evaluation: |
Successful because:
· A number of community-wide government sponsored initiatives were
created to promote deployment.
· Strong CPS, tied to local laws on certificate usage and its
limitations.
· Overall technical limitations were discussed prior to deployment
of services. Specifically, planned services requiring key escrow
were dropped when no workable escrow solution could be deployed. |
