information management. Nominees must be federal government employees.
IM Everywhere
(at IM Day 2002)
IM Everywhere is
an opportunity to share an IM-related topic of your choice with your
colleagues. Show a Web site, raise an issue, bring a (short) demo, ask a
question, or distribute a document (paper is OK) - anything you think would be
of interest to the IM community. Topics can be internal or external to
your department.
Guidelines for Records Created Under a Public Key Infrastructure Using Encryption and Digital Signatures
To facilitate the development of electronic
communication at all levels, the federal government has implemented a Public
Key Infrastructure (PKI), which enables documents in electronic form to be
encrypted and to carry a digital signature. To explain its position and assist
institutions in the management and disposal of records created under a Public
Key Infrastructure using encryption and digital signatures, the National
Archives has prepared these guidelines.
