"Long-term Archive Protocol (LTAP)", Aleksej Jerman-Blazic, Peter Sylvester, Carl Wallace, 2-Nov-08. ( bytes)

This document describes a service operated as a trusted third party to securely archive electronic documents called a long-term archive service (LTA). We describe an architecture framework and a protocol allowing clients to interact with such a service. Bindings to concrete transport and security protocol layers are given.

"Data Structure for the Security Suitability of Cryptographic Algorithms (DSSC)", Thomas Kunz, Susanne Okunick, Ulrich Pordesch, 3-Nov-08. ( bytes)

In many application areas it must be possible to prove the existence and integrity of digital signed data. This proof depends on the security suitability of the cryptographic algorithms used to generate or verify the digital signature. Because algorithms can become weak over the years, it is necessary to periodically evaluate their security suitability. When signing or verifying data, these evaluations must be considered. This document specifies a data structure that enables automated analysis of the security suitability of cryptographic algorithms.
