This workplan correspond to a Winter Semester Research
program where students choose a topic and they should investigate on
it. It is
composed
of 7 milestones where they have to learn about the state of the art in
the topic selected achieving some goals and they have to present a final
work at the end.
When a transaction
between two entities needs to be done, both entities will need some information
from
the other
party.
While current approaches relies on the client/server approach where one
of the two entities is registered on the other, Automated Trust Negotiation
denotes the process where both parties ask and disclose information whenever
it is needed according to their own policies.
The chosen topic consists on the extension with credentials
of the current prototype in Automated Trust Negotiation where the credentials
are only simulated.

Digital signatures management need to be implemented in Java. Here
it is needed to decide which package would be better to use. Sun
provides the JCE (but I am not sure it uses XML signatures) but there
are other possibilities (maybe with XML Signatures that is a standard). |

| 13/01/2004-20/01/2004 - Credentials Extension
Development (I) |
| |
Create a library in Java with methods for the following tasks:
- Read credential: the different parts of the credential are extracted
- Write credential: a local statement is written as a credential
with the own private key
- Verify credential: a given credential is checked
- Create list of credentials: each credential statement is
written in prolog predicates
