Please do, I'm certainly interested.

I sent a private request but did not get a response. If you already sent the
notes, it probably got lost due to spam filters. Can you please try again
using this web form here: http://ibiblio.org/weidai/mailme.php, or just post
your notes in this newsgroup. Email has become so unreliable now, sigh...

There are a number of issues with this, I'll just take them from when I
first realized them, I will be chopping up what Peter said beyond all
recognition.

There is obviously a misunderstanding of the base concept here. Most likely
what has been mistakenly referred to as not PKI is the web-of-trust that
Zimmerman has used before, this is PKI. It is just that the WoT is usually
considered to fundamentally differ from the Hierarchical Trust System
commonly referred to as PKI, there is actually no such difference.

WTC7 was one of the smaller buildings that surrounded the main WTC towers (1
& 2)
WTC7 was 174 metres tall.

  Dig-Sig for MS Word         


Author: Tom
Date: Dec 18, 2006 12:12

I'm looking for someone who is experienced in digitally signing MS Word
documents (server side signing). IF you know how to do this because
you've done it before, call me at 847-924-2025 day or night. Regards,
...Tom Schmidt

High-level requirements:

1) Create a VB.net Web service

2) On a timer (timing set through code), service checks for IERS to
produce

3) Produces word Dig-Sig IERS (Integrated Evidentiary Resume System),
exactly as provided,

4) Digitally signs IERS

Service should be commented such that its easy enough to put in the SQL
statements to get information from the database

E.g.,

''' Here is where the contact information is created

objWord.InsertText 'Thomas Schmidt'

objWord.InsertText 'Address 1'

objWord.InsertText 'Etc'

''' Here is the loop to create the work experience
