Re: Questions about PKIX

Hello Stefan,



> When will be the code of the PKIX reference available at the MIT Web
Pages?

Any minute now :-). While we thought we had worked out both licensing
and export issues, when the moment came to publish the code, various
parties decided they'd like things to be a bit more formal. Rumor has
it that Jeff S. has finally worked out all the issues, and will post
the code as soon as he's back in Boston (Friday), if not earlier.
The greetings page does appear to be up at http://web.mit.edu/pfl.

> When starts the PKIX developers converence in October?

I hadn't heard anything about this. Do you have a source for this?
Maybe this question belongs back on the pkix list.

> Are there already White Papers available?

Not on Jonah. In the PKIX area, Al A is working on the roadmap, which
is currently getting some discussion on the pkix list.
