In last two weeks I was spend my time with deploying the eID Web Service and making it securing. For implementation of WS- Security module in our web service I used Apache rampart module. It was best and stander way of securing Apache Axis2 web service. For some WS- security module problems contact MR. Prabath Sriwardana and the Mr. Nanadana Mihidukulasuriya form WSO2 via email who are WS- Security expert form the WSO2.
Also within last two weeks we did our third project demonstration. Before the final 3rd Demonstration, we did a trial demonstration to Dr.Chandana Gamage. He provides lots of valuable advices for the final demonstration and for the improvement of the project. Also final Demonstration was successfully did in front of panel consist with project supervisors.

Last two weeks i worked on the eID client side application of the project. My main concern was on the eID client side Firefox browser based extension which take care of the Relying party policy and control the client side.
And we had several meetings with our project supervisor and discussed regarding the 3rd formal evaluation which was on the 27th November. And done the 3rd formal demonstration also in this week.
I think we did a lot during this time, and it seems I got less to say here as I feel my work would speak for me (just think so)

We had our 3rd formal evaluations of the project during this period. So that I was working very hard to achieve my own deadlines to produce a working model of the Java card applet. I finally succeeded in developing the applet with signing and verification implemented, but the terminal application and the client side development was in the halfway. Because of that I was able to demonstrate the applet, installing, converting to CAP (Converted Applet), and deployment only. Without the terminal, I couldn’t send different APDU’s and demonstrate the output. But anyway our Supervisor and Project Coordinator were satisfied with the progress. It seems like I’m wearing the Java CAP all these days…!
Earlier to the final 3rd Demonstration, we did a trial demonstration to our Supervisor Dr.Chandana Gamage and got his feedback to further improve the quality of the system and the demonstration.
We also had two meeting with our Supervisor during this period and also had a meeting with a WSO2 personnel Mr.Nandana. Hope these will be really helpful to make the final system more productive

We had a meeting at WSO2 today from 4.00pm to 4.30pm. This meeting was scheduled with Mr. Prabath Siriwardena, but later it was changed to be with Mr. Nandana Mihindukulasuriya (who happens to be a senior to us at CSE@UoM).
The purpose of this meeting was to evaluvate the security aspects of the eID web service and to get some expert advice on what we have been doing. This turned out to be more benificial to us as Nandana ayya is an Apache Rampart committer, and that is the same module that we have been using with our web service to provide WS-Security.
We also used this as an opportunity to discuss about some other security aspects of the project and also about some of the issues we had related to web services and WS-Security. We are very thankful to Nandana ayya and Prabath ayya for allocating their valuable time for us.

Hi all,
So as we have finished the 3rd evaluation demo satisfying our supervisors, now we will have to work harder to earn the same at the completion of the project as well.
As we all have a clear idea about what needs to be done individually, now we just need the right effort and spending some time on those to make things on time. As we have planned earlier and as requested by our project supervisor we will have to finish the project by the end of this year (December 31, 2008), which means we have only about 28 days from today (December 3rd).
Deadlines:
So its required that each one of us, fix our own deadlines and work in a collective manner as a team. We will be having individual dead lines and accomplish tasks by that, and we have fixed each Sunday as our deadline days. We have 4 more Sundays from now and each of us have partitioned our works to fit into this time frame. We are posing our individual deadlines with components we are working on below.
