Best practice PKI: example 1 Health eSignature Authority See www.hesa.com.au • Owned by a government health IT agency • >7,000 certs issued to healthcare professionals • USB dongles & smartcards • Initial applications focus on doctors’ reports & forms to government (i.e. B2G) • Next applications will be in medical records and doctor-to-doctor messaging (i.e. B2B)
Best practice PKI: example 2 Australian Tax Office See www.ato.gov.au • One of the biggest PKIs in the world • 100,000 certificates for business tax reporting (GST) • Several 100,000 certificates for personal tax returns • Led to “Australian Business Number Certificate” (ABN-DSC) for multi-agency B2G (and B2B) • Identrus cross-recognised by Gatekeeper
Current understanding of PKI • Fundamental aim is to automate paperless transactions • “Known Customer” certificates represent an existing business relationship with issuer; e.g. • Doctors, lawyers, accountants, other professionals • Licence holders (stock brokers, customs brokers, taxi drivers …) • Credit card holders • One party recognises the affiliation of the other party • Existing transaction context, terms & conditions, liability arrangements all carry over to PKI based transactions • PKI is specific to an application or class of applications
A vision for embedded PKI • Secure networks … a main infrastructure of society • The right person should be able to get right services • Digital certificates embedded in applications • Trend from identity towards membership • i.e. e-Business Card, not e-passport
