Paul,

With the Novell integrate Cert. Authority (Cert. Server) capability built into NDS, when you log into the NDS tree, the Cert. Server will go through an authentication process to ensure that you are actually who you say you are (based on ID and password provided).

I would agree that the volume and amount of highly confidential information that this NDS Tree will contain brings up issues as to who should have the right to administer the Tree. Should Novell? Should any other corporate entity? I know that in discussions on implementation issues like this within an IBM project for a major customer, IBM was seriously thinking of the using the Postal Service (a government entity which would be legally mandate to ensure privacy from other interests that might want access to this information).

The issue of who would administer the Digital Me tree was brought up by the audience. Novell said that they plan on administer the first site as a Novell Portal but that the same technology will likely be consider to be sold to other interested service entities (for Intranet or Internet use). Novell will be rolling it out on demo to the Brainshare conference. I feel that this will be the Digital Me product kick-off. Can you imagine if Digital Me takes off like Amazon.Com? Think of the stock possibilities folks!

In the Global Partners Summit, we were told that Sweeden is in the process of developing Certificates for each of their citizens.
