TRADING PARTNER AGREEMENT
for the Electronic Data Interchange
of Information Over the Public Internet
Section 1. Prerequisites. (Continued)
1.4. Security Procedures. Each party, in its sole discretion and
expense, shall use and provide for the requisite levels of security which
are reasonably sufficient to ensure that all transmissions of Documents
are authorized by the parties and to protect their business records and
data from improper access. At a minimum, the parties shall provide and
use those security measures specified herein, in the NAESB standards as
adopted by the FERC, or as may be agreed upon by the parties as set forth
in the Appendix.
1.5. Keys. When the parties are utilizing the Internet electronic
delivery mechanism as herein contemplated, each party shall maintain a
Pretty Good Privacy ("PGP") "public key," (an encryption algorithm used to
facilitate private electronic communication) which may be changed from
time to time in accordance with this Agreement or as may be set forth in
the Appendix. Each party shall provide to the other party its PGP public
key by either (a) a certified or receipted mail service using a diskette
with the public key contained in an ASCII text file, or (b) an electronic
simple mail transfer protocol (smtp) mail message with the public key
contained in the body. Under either option above, the public key shall be
verified by the party to whom it is sent by validating the fingerprint of
the public key which may be accomplished via telephone, fax, or other
comparably reliable means. If a party desires to change its public key,
it shall provide at least five business days prior notice thereof to the
other party; provided that under an emergency situation, a prior written
notice of at least 24 hours shall be given.
1.6. Electronic Signatures. Each party shall adopt as its
signature the PGP private key, where required by the Standards or
otherwise agreed to by the parties, in the Document transmitted by such
party ("Signature Code(s)"). Such Signature Codes(s) shall be specified
in the Appendix. Each party agrees that the Signature Code(s) of such
party affixed to or contained in any transmitted Document shall be
sufficient to verify that such party originated the Document. Neither
party shall disclose to any unauthorized person the Signature Code(s) of
the other party.
