The OASIS Digital Signature Services eXtended (DSS-X) TC
            [1] members have recently approved a Committee Specification
            Draft (CSD) and submitted this specification for 30-day
            public review:

          

            

          

          
DSS Extension for Local Signature Computation Version 1.0

          
Committee Specification 01 / Public Review Draft 01

          
16 January 2014

          

          

          
Specification Overview:

          

          

          
The core OASIS Digital Signature Service webservice
            [DSSCore] supports the creation of signatures on behalf of
            applications and / or users by utilizing server-based
            signature keys. 

          

          

          
This Local Signature Computation profile extends the core
            functionality such that end users can bring (use) their own
            (secure) signature-creation device. Examples of such devices
            are smartcards or usb-tokens but also smartphones, mobile
            phones, tablets, pc's or laptops with privately held
            signature keys. 

          

          

          
Three solutions are presented to support the varying
            capabilities of applications and different use cases. 

          

          

          
The first solution is useful for web-applications where
            web browsers can access the (secure) signature-creation
            device that is available at the desktop (e.g. a smartcard
            connected via USB). 

          

          

          
The second solution is useful for applications that can
            access the (secure) signature- creation device themselve,
            for instance desktop applications or smartphone apps. 

          

          

          
The third solution is useful for any application where
            the (secure) signature-creation device can only be accessed
            via a separate channel, for instance a mobile device,
            through a third-party. 

          

          

          
TC Description: 

          

          

          
The DSS-X TC is developing new profiles of the existing
            OASIS Digital Signature Services core protocol "Digital
            Signature Service Core Protocols, Elements, and Bindings
            Version 1.0" and is maintaining this specification and its
            existing profiles. If at a later date it becomes clear that
            a new version of DSS is necessary then this may be produced
            by the TC. 

          

          

          
DSS-X is also working on promotion of the standard and
            the creation of material helping dissemination. In general
            terms, the TC has the goal to facilitate the processing of
            digital signatures and time stamps in a client server
            environment. 

          

          

          
The DSS-X TC is a member of the IDtrust Member Section.  

          

          

          
Public Review Period:

          

          

          
The public review starts 11 February 2014 at 00:00 GMT
            and ends 12 March 2014 at 23:59 GMT.

All comments submitted to OASIS are subject to the OASIS

            public review of "DSS Extension for Local Signature
            Computation Version 1.0", we call your attention to the
            OASIS IPR Policy [2] applicable especially [3] to the work
            of this technical committee. All members of the TC should be
            familiar with this document, which may create obligations
            regarding the disclosure and availability of a member's
            patent, copyright, trademark and license rights that read on
            an approved OASIS specification. 

          

          

          
OASIS invites any persons who know of any such claims to
            disclose these if they may be essential to the
            implementation of the above specification, so that notice of
            them may be posted to the notice page for this TC's work.
