[ilugd] [india-gii] MCA's dicatat on e-filing
Dear Members, To introduce my self, I am an advocate member of ilug-delhi and of Supreme Court Bar. Now proceeding to the topic, the requirement in e-filing of proprietary solution (Digital Signature) issued by the CA issued by the Ministries require all the condemnation since it promotes specific vendors with proprietary solutions. In this regard, in Linux-Asia, during the presentation by the Director, (Technology Interface)to the President Mr V Ponraj, I suggested to introduce solution under open source. Further I even sent an email addressed to the Hon'ble President of India. However, till date, I have not received any reply. In this regard, an action can be taken by the entire linux-delhi group by way of filing PIL. However, this requires certain preliminary steps to be taken. Firstly, a letter(preferred) email be sent to the Ministry of IT, Ministry of Commerce Industries, Ministry of Finance by the secretary. Then after a lapse of reasonable time for action taking, PIL can be filed by the Linux-Delhi group. I suggest that this action needs to be taken considering these facts. I am prepared and ready to provide any assistance including legal in this regard. Please Feel free to revert for initiating positive action in this regard.

Triveni, in parlance of ILUG-D you have been volunteered. You are nominated to take lead to active culmination of the steps outlined. Seriously: 1. Can ILUG-D provide a place to collate all information being generated on the issue? 2. Once arguments and counters and opinions by Gurus reaches a bt further we can then take steps above. -- Sudev Barar Learning Linux ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

I have perfectly good Windows 98 system running for business why I have to invest in new software? The reason for that I understand is the version of Adobe Reader. The PDF based forms use a new underlying architecture which requires Adobe Reader 7.0.5 or higher. Adobe reader 7 is available only on Windows 2000 (SP2-SP4), Windows XP, and Windows 2003 Server. Bunkum. I am using Ubuntu5.10 with Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 Thank you. If DIN has to be used at facilitation centre then what is the guarantee that spyware / keyloggers will not record my e-signatures? Government should only follow document standards that are clear and open. The DIN is just a Director Identification Number. It is not directly connected to the Digital Certificate/ Digital Signature of the Director. Digital signatures are created using a digital certificate which in turn use a private key to actually sign the doument. It is not necessary to do all these at the facilitation center. You could also do this from your office or home. In anycase, if you are carrying your certificate in a secure crypto token that most CAs bundle these days, you should be fine from a scurity point of view. And how do you sign the certifcate? As you mention by use of private key. Would you upload your private key on a unknown computer at facilitation centre to digitally sign? You might as well gift all your property to me right now. My understanding is to get private key signed you need Windblows Hope this helps. How does this help?

As for Linux, Adobe only has Adobe Reader 7.0. The current PDF forms require Adobe Reader 7.0.5 or higher. So you are still stuck. http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrrsystemreqs.html Okay so we wait till Linux reaches 7.0 whatever...Deadline by department is still June 30th :-P Even if you do ultimately get a version 7.0.5 or higher later, you will only be able to fill and sign the form offline. But to submit it, you will require IE and hence Windows. (Am not sure why but I think the portal probably uses a few ActiveX components when you do a form submit. It does not even work in Firefox/windows) That is why my first proposal to put MCA site on hall of shame for promotng propritary formats and companies. And how do you sign the certifcate?

My understanding is to get private key signed you need Windblows I thought I did mention about a Secure crypto token option. This is basically a microprocessor based smartcard in a USB dongle format. You don't need to upload the private key. The signing operation happens within the crypto token instead of the computer memory. http://www.icma.com/info/understandingpki.htm The Digital certificate is required to be issued by a Licensed CA after identity validation. You don't sign the certificate. The certificate is signed by the CA to attest the information against your public key. You sign the PDF form using your certificate along with your private key. Hope this clarifies a few more things :-) May be some other Guru's can clarify or argue about this. AFAIK some where or other you will have to give a password or private key to identify yourself and if this is stolen your identity is stolen. Atleast debate opens up and I learn a few ore things. -- Sudev Barar Learning Linux ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
