PKI 7/9
Legislation for digital signatures and corresponding PKIs is a difficult and very challenging task
In Switzerland, a ÑVerordnung ¸ber Dienste der elektroni-schen Zertifizierungì (ZertDV) was put in place on May 1, 2000
The ZertDV will be replaced by a ÑBundesgesetzes ¸ber die elektronische Signaturì (BGES)
In either case, the criteria against which certification service providers (i.e., CAs) would be evaluated and certified are not clear and still under construction
This is equally true for the European Electronic Signature Standardization Initiative (EESSI)
