7. Information Sharing Agreements

Certification and Ratings: Certifications are about suitability to participate in trust framework, against a criteria that we develop, using a process that we define. We're certifying the infrastructure players. Parties being certified: assessors, signature authorities (provides an identity that allows a party to enter into a Data Transaction Agreement (DTA)), and rating services.

Ratings are 3rd party assessments about whether someone would want to do business with a company. Those assessments can use whatever criteria they deem appropriate.

What's relationship between signature authority (certified) and data recipient (not certified)? Signature authority needs to associate an identity with a legal entity, and provide tools for identity/entity to sign DTAs. (similar to Verisign cert assertions) Data recipient/individual: needs to sign one or more master agreements. Signature authority retains affirmation of that signature, provides tools for offering, accepting, signing DTAs (PKI keys?). Data recipients use tools for DTAs. Signing a master agreement (MA) needs to include agreement to honor DTAs and acceptance of default terms from master agreement. Signature authority administers revocation process for entities (registry of complaints) who are bad actors--signature authorities needs rights and responsibilities to revoke identities of bad actors. (We're not designing revocation process)

All a data recipient or individual needs to participate in framework is to have signed one or more MAs that covers future DTAs and acceptance of default terms, evidence of signing. Signature authority is making the following assertion about the entity: "This legal entity, as represented by these identifiers, has signed one or more MAs and have demonstrated their adherence to IS agreements" (haven't yet been revoked). Revocation process needs to have due process. Data recipient/individual is also asserting a legal identity and authority to enter into agreements on behalf of that entity.
