Transparency on latest updated

Following the 2023 public consultation, where we received valuable feedback, the AS4 2.0 and SMP 2.0 specifications underwent some updates. The detailed disposition of public review comments is available on our website (insert link), offering transparency into our decision-making process.

Noteworthy responses from the consultation encompassed security choices, with insights from cryptography experts guiding our decisions. While key transport replacement was deliberated, we opted to adhere to the original proposal based on expert recommendations. Furthermore, we heeded your suggestions by implementing the removal of SBDH as a profile enhancement in the new specification.

To foster inclusivity and address any potential concerns, we invite you to participate in a new public consultation from 8 March to 8 April 2024:
