Abstract: This Report represents a preliminary analysis of certain questions relating to legal issues involved in the emerging service business of certification authorities, particularly those arising in consumer transactions. The scope of this Report has been limited intentionally to focus on the selected legal environment in the United States, although additional information has been provided on German law, the directives of the European Commission and laws in other jurisdictions. In addition, this Report only addresses consumer transactions taking place in an "open system," where a CA provides services to any consumer desiring services without regard to the contractual obligations between the consumer or the merchant and any payment system. As a "pilot" project of the Forum, a more comprehensive analysis, though appropriate, was not within the scope of available resources.
