Australian example: National PKI

• Emerging Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
  • Standards Australia Report (1996) - Strategies for the implementation of a Public Key Authentication Framework for Australia - proposed a national root registration authority
  • National Electronic Authentication Council (NEAC) to be established (June 1999) - advice and facilitating standards only, not a national root registration authority
• Privacy protection?
• Proposed extensions of the Privacy Act 1988 to the private sector
  • Limitations of this approach
