Dear Madam,

Dear Sir,

The ETSI Plugtests Service is pleased to invite you to participate in a
new remote XAdES plugtests!

After the success of the first remote plugtest event, ETSI has continued
the development of the supporting Remote Plugtest Portal, which now
offers on-line PKI-related services (Certificates provision, OCSP
server, LDAP and Time-stamp).

The purposes of these new events are:

    * To consolidate solutions to already identified interoperability
issues of XAdES.

    * To enable participants to assess the level of interoperability of
CAdES.

    * To identify additional issues that should be taken into account in
future XAdES/CAdES standardization activities.

    * To improve the quality of XAdES/CAdES specifications.

    * To ease the introduction of XAdES/CAdES signatures, by providing
the means to solve interoperability problems before widespread deployment.

The event will evaluate (X-C)AdES interoperability by focusing on all
the different XAdES forms standardized in ETSI TS 101 903 and ETSI 101
733, including (X-C)AdES-BES, (X-C)AdES-EPES, (X-C)AdES-T, (X-C)AdES-C,
(X-C)AdES-X Type 1, (X-C)AdES-X Type 2, (X-C)AdES-XL and (X-C)AdES-A.

Participants will also be able to generate new test case definitions and
signatures, which will be taken into consideration for extending the
test cases set according to ETSI's discretion.

The registration deadline for the 3rd event is 6th February 2009. We
recommend you to register as soon as possible. All details about the
events, including all the technical information are available at
_http://www.etsi.org/plugtests/XAdES2/html/XAdES2.htm_

Should you need any further information, please feel free to contact us
