A European Union-wide advisory body this week called for security breach disclosure regulations tougher than those in the U.S. as a step toward raising awareness of the seriousness of security threats.

The European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA), the E.U.'s top security body, said governments, businesses and consumers are still underestimating the scope of the IT security problem, in part because of the lack of transparency when breaches occur.

OASIS is conducting a public review of the ebXML Messaging Transport Binding for Digital Signature Services version 1.0, which has been approved by the consortium's Digital Signature Services eXtended (DSS-X) Technical Committee as a Committee Draft. The specification defines an alternative transport binding for the DSS Core standard that uses the OASIS ebXML Messaging Service. This profile is compatible with ebMS 2.0 and 3.0. The public review is open from 30 May to 29 August 2008. OASIS seeks feedback from potential users, developers and all other interested parties.
