Use of PKI system
Does your country use an open or closed PKI system?
Open PKI38%
Closed PKI54%
Answer not available
8%
Open or closed PKI
• Open PKI countries- All have 1-5 CA’s, except Spain (6-10)
- CA is allways checked by public authority
• Closed PKI countries- Results don’t give clear view of how the identity of the applicant of a certificate is checked. It appears that many different methods are used (such as face-to-face control, or validation by other organizations)
Validation systems
• Most countries have a validation system to check if certificates have become available to people that are not competent (anymore)
• Validation systems are different
Use of Validation system
CRL; 23%
OSCI & EGVP; 8%
Non-users; 31%
LDAP; 15%

Topic 2 (electronic signatures) conclusions:
• In all countries an advanced digital signature is necessary
• Differences in number of signatures that are needed
• E-conveyancing more facilitated by one-signature-system: countries with use > 25% e-conveyancing for transfer / mortgage all have a one-signature-system
• Differences in having closed or open pki system.
• Survey doesn’t give a clear view of how identity of applicants are checked in closed PKI systems
• Different validation systems for control of competency applicants
Topic 3: Electronic transmission of data
• Reliability transmission of data
• Is your country (going to) use webservices for e-conveyancing ore-mail?

In the future:

Topic 4: Use of standard texts
Only a small proportion of texts in recorded documents give reason to change the registration. This proportion often contains the same standard texts. The amount of reading work can be reduced and production norms can be significantly improved by the (partial) use of standard texts.
Do you see possibilities to use (partially) standard texts for deeds of transfer or mortgage deeds in your country?

Topic 5: Trans border (European) e-conveyancing
Trans-border (European) e-conveyancing
In the case of cross-border transactions e-conveyancing is possibly hampered by the fact that a registrar in the country of the plot of land concerned is not allowed to accept foreign deeds.
Is recording of foreign deeds allowed?
YesNo64%
36%
Working group conclusions
• No complete standardization of deeds
• Must be free to edit deed, no restrictions
• Possibility that one part of the deed is standard text and the other part differs and is dependent of the legal system of registering country.
• Start with a first investigation of the use of partial standard text for cross border transactions, f.e. ELRA stylesheet
• Use only voluntary
• Starting to investigate the possibility for transferring ownership or mortgage
Working group road map
Next year, working group will examine:
• Conditions regarding validation, signatures, software and regulation
• Possibility to create framework for a stylesheet
Focus on ownership or mortgage
