Dear Ayhan and SMIME members,

ETSI will organize the remote interoperability PlugtestsTM event for CMS signatures and CMS with Advanced Electronic Signature (ETSI TS 101 733) V2.2.1 attributes.

This event will run remotely from 2nd to 13th December 2013.

The event is free of charge and is open to both ETSI members and non-members. (Supporters European Commission)

http://www.etsi.org/CAdES-2013

Especially Archive format with Archive timestamp version 3 (ATSv3) will be tested. 

ATSv3 is radical simplification, because CMS contains only:

1. Signature time-stamp and 

2. one or more ATSv3, 

It is because redundant and complicated CAdES attributes were deprecated (can be included or ignored) and only CMS attributes are used for certificate, CRL and OCSP response storage.

Archive timestamp version 3 is defined in ETSI TS 101 733 V2.2.1 (2013-04)

CAdES Baseline Profile ETSI TS 103 173 V2.2.1 (2013-04)

Best regards,

Dear Sir, Madam

ETSI’s Centre for Testing and Interoperability (CTI) is pleased to invite you to participate to the next remote interoperability PlugtestsTM event for CAdES (CMS Advanced Electronic Signature ETSI TS 101 733). This event will run remotely from 2nd to 13th December 2013.

This remote event aims to conduct conformance and interoperability testing on CAdES signatures (ETSI TS 101 733) V2.2.1 and also on the CAdES Baseline Profile TS 103 173 V2.2.1. In addition the introduction of new Archive Time Stamp attribute V3 will be taken into consideration.

This Plugtests event will enable participants to conduct 4 types of tests (Interoperability and Conformance):

*         Generation and cross-verification (Positive) tests

*	Only-verification (Negative) tests 
*	Upgrade and Arbitration  tests
*	Conformance testing including new archive-time-stamp-v3"

The event is free of charge and is open to both ETSI members and non-members.

As this is a REMOTE event, there will be no need for the participants to travel to the ETSI premises and all signature exchanges and verifications will be performed via the dedicated portal http://xades-portal.etsi.org.

The remote testing is not performed in real time and the Plugtests portal will be available 24h/24 for the full duration of the event to enable participants from all time zones to generate, upload and verify the signature at their own convenience. 

All information related to this event along with registration details may be found at the following address: http://www.etsi.org/CAdES-2013 or contact us via email: [email-masked].

Yours faithfully,

Laurent VELEZ
