Subject: ITU-T X.509, security token, PAdES and software freedom
Date: Mon, 08 Jan 2018 13:04:29 -0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87373gs7vo.fsf@adfeno-pc1.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me> (raw)
Hi all,
Someone in another mailing list inspired me to ask the following
questions:
1. Are there free/libre device firmware and kernel driver/modules that
allow interacting with security tokens that follow the ITU-T X.509
standard? If yes, which ports they use (/e.g./: USB, custom one)?
2. Are there free/libre programs that can pass/manage these signatures
(such as locking, unlocking, and so on) to the top-level/user-facing
applications? Or did I misunderstand something and XAdES/CAdES/PAdES
don't need a dedicated manager in order to work?
One year ago I organized an event in Brazil where, during the break, one
of the speakers told me that one of the issues we now have in free/libre
software and public administration is that there doesn't seen to exist
software freedom when dealing with ITU-T X.509, security tokens and
XAdES/CAdES/PAdES ([1]). However, recently in a mailing list that
*appears to be* about free/libre software in Brazil, someone asked more
or less the same question ([2]), and I wonder if the situation has
changed.
