[Work done from 21st July to 3rd August 2008]
We had the first formal presentation on the 24th of July which was to on the work done up to end of June 2008. We prepared for the presentation as the group and did a demonstration of that on the 22nd to our project supervisor Dr. Chandana Gamage. He suggested us with few changes that could be done and that helped us make the presentation even better. I did the presentation on behalf of our group and we had a mixed feedback including places where we need to fast up and we were asked to come up with a demonstratable outcome before the semester end.
Next we were asked to create a project website and we created ours’s at www.project-eid.org. We are in the precess of keeping it upto date with latest updates of the project.
On 25th Friday we had meeting with Mr.Ruchith Fernando at WSO2 and his team who work on WSO2 Identity Solution. In that meeting we discussed about similarities and differences between WSO2 Identity Solution and eID project. We found that trying out WSO2 Identity Solution before proceeding on the project would be beneficial to us. So we started do that and completed installing and configuring. Malalasena is working on that.
We also decided to go with a USB Memory Stick based card and not a Smart Card. The reason for this was the cost factor and complexity. We have also decided that the USB Memory Stick can be fully read only type or partial read only where the private key can be kept. We have been experimenting with TrueCrypt (http://www.truecrypt.org/) which could be used for these purposes sometimes.
We have also divided our project responsibilities among team members and we are targeting 15th August as the next deadline for some demonstratable outcome from each member.
