XML Advanced Electronic Signature

The ETSI Plugtests Service is pleased to invite you to participate in the first XAdES REMOTE INTEROPERABILITY EVENT, supported by the Plugtests Portal for Electronic Signature.

ETSI is playing a key role in the development of electronic signatures related standards, including XAdES (ETSI TS 101 903, v1.3.2). The importance of XAdES can further be seen in the increasing support by both national legislation in several European countries, and market, where more and more products report capability for supporting XAdES signatures generation and verification.

ETSI organized in the past two face-to-face XAdES plugtest events, which attracted major XAdES implementers. These events largely impacted on XAdES recent standardization activities, being most of their recommendations incorporated in the latest XAdES version.

ETSI will organize a remote XAdES interoperability event supported by its recently created Plugtests Portal for Electonic Signature, where participants will be able to make interoperability tests of their XAdES implementations.

The event is open to XAdEs software vendors and vendors of platforms offering XAdES signatures production and/or verification capabilities,  which may ascertain the quality of their products. The event is also open to service providers offering XAdES signatures production and/or verification capabilities, which may evaluate the platforms used in their services provision. The event is open to both ETSI members and non-members.

For more detailed information, see the general information page.

The registration deadline is 15 February 2008. We recommend you to register as soon as possible.
