Public Key Infrastructure and Certification Policy for Inter - domain Management

This document describes the certification policy and PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) proposed by the ACTS project TRUMPET for inter-domain management between telecommunications providers, and for customer access to management functionality offered by providers. The PKI consists of one Certification Authority (CA) per provider, and one Inter-domain Management CA which certifies these CAs. At pre...

A new river sediment standard reference material.

The collection, processing and certification of a new sediment Standard Reference Material (SRM), SRM 2704, is described. Collected from the bottom of the Buffalo River in New York State during the fall of 1986, SRM 2704 is certified for 25 elements with information provided on another 22 elements. Improvements in analytical methods as well as the application of well-defined quality-control pro...

A new organic-rich soil reference material certified for its EDTA- and acetic acid- extractable contents of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn, following collaboratively tested and harmonised procedures.

There is an increasing requirement for assessment of the bioavailable metal fraction and the mobility of trace elements in soils upon disposal. One of the approaches is the use of leaching procedures, but the results obtained are operationally defined; therefore, their significance is highly dependent on the extraction protocol performed. So, for this type of study, there is a need for referenc...

International Grid CA Interworking, Peer Review and Policy Management Through the European DataGrid Certification Authority Coordination Group

The Certification Authority Coordination Group in the European DataGrid project has created a unique large-scale Public Key Infrastructure and the policies and procedures to operate it successfully. The infrastructure demonstrates interoperability of multiple certification authorities (CAs) with various technical resources in a novel system of peer-assessment of the roots of trust. Crucial to t...
