Policy Issues Affecting the Implementation of Public Key Authentication Framework,

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to examine a particular issue which impacts Defence business dealings with other government departments and commercial interests and matters related to national security, specifically those of an economic aspect. While there are many security issues which need addressing, we focus on the near term issue of electronic digital signatures and the need for a regulated, country wide mechanism for the legal acceptance of these signatures across multiple businesses and government organs. Finally, we discus a framework for such a mechanism, namely the Public Key Authentication Framework (PKAF), and expose a number of implications.
