Questionnaire

http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/42458/f2fsched2009/

Status of options.

5-6 May, Boston?

<fjh> http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/42458/f2fsched2009/

fjh: dicussion about location, Boston ... Europe ....

<fjh> I can probably host at Nokia in Cambridge MA 5-6 May

tlr: gives up on hosting in Europe ...

<tlr> ... I'll spend time on the phone while you meet in Boston

magnus: this week will not work for magnus
... prefers to have it later

fjh: hosting at nokia, not possible after mid may

magnus: could host ?

fjh: holiday season, cannot in August

tlr: may - july
... given TPAC scheduled for Nov ...

<magnus> RSA could likely host, if held in the Boston area.

<magnus> RSA most likely could host, if held in the Boston area

<Gerald-E> I vote for June - I can not do May

<Gerald-E> I am restricted only for May.

klanz2: I cannot do July and late June ...

... August is also very difficult

... so May or early June would be good

tlr: 12,13 May ...

Gerald-E: depends

kelvin: not sure

fjh: tentatively plan for that date

<scribe> ACTION: magnus and fjh to check on hosting [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/02/24-xmlsec-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-223 - And fjh to check on hosting [on Magnus Nyström - due 2009-03-03].

<scribe> done

july is not possible for me

<brich> i can't travel July 13, but could conference in

brich: ... travelling difficult

7) XML Encryption - AES Key Wrap with padding (not FPWD)

<fjh> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec/2009Feb/0100.html

tlr: padding, with padding, currently no padding
... only keys that are mod 64 = 0
... proposal encompasses all useful key length ...
... seperate identifiers indicated
... roll out algo as mandatory to implement
... will take a few month before stable ...

<fjh> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec/2009Feb/0101.html

tlr: let's make OPTIONAL

fjh: where is the OPTIONAL mentioned in the draft ...

tlr: forgotten add algorithms do appropriate table ...

??Potential-RESOLUTION??: Add as OPTIONAL AES Key Wrap with Padding to the post WD 1.1

<fjh> kelvin notes that we need to make sure this material does not go forward if ietf dependency is not ready

tlr: add editors ... work in progress

<fjh> tlr notes that we can deal with that later, unlikely, add editors note that currently an internet draft

<fjh> Possible Resolution Add as Optional AES Key Wrap with padding as proposed by tlr for editors draft of 1.1 post FPWD

RESOLUTION: Add as Optional AES Key Wrap with padding as proposed by tlr for editors draft of 1.1 post FPWD

<scribe> ACTION: tlr to Add as Optional AES Key Wrap with padding as proposed by tlr for editors draft of 1.1 post FPWD [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/02/24-xmlsec-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-224 - Add as Optional AES Key Wrap with padding as proposed by tlr for editors draft of 1.1 post FPWD [on Thomas Roessler - due 2009-03-03].

8)Additional Elliptic Curves (not FPWD)

<fjh> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-xmlsec/2009Feb/0012.html

magnus: we have not identified a security level above 192 bit
... need recommended curves for 192 and 256 bits

<fjh> test

<fjh> magnus notes we should list the additional curves as Recommended, 192 and 256 for interop

kelvin: helpful if we put notes in ...

klevin: curves would be recommended, first have to define the curve at certain security level and what hash algorithm matches the strength

kelvin: NIST covers the recommendations

<fjh> kelvin notes that nist has table with curve and hash algorithm recommendations for given security levels

kelvin: why assesss security levels if we don't do that for RSA ?

<fjh> kelvin asks if general question to highlight security strength for RSA, DSA as well, noting algorithms

I'm not sure that the XMLDSIG docs are the right place for this, there is other projects taking care of such stuff http://www.keylength.com/

tehre is a collection of all the things from NIST, ECRYPT, SCSSI etc ....

magnus: the core issue is ...
... provide recommendation for the two higher security level curves with reference

ECDSA

<scribe> ACTION: magnus to propose text for a note potentially to be added to XMLDSIG provide recommendation for the two higher security level curves with reference [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/02/24-xmlsec-minutes.html#action04]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-225 - Propose text for a note potentially to be added to XMLDSIG provide recommendation for the two higher security level curves with reference [on Magnus Nyström - due 2009-03-03].

<kyiu> I think we can address magnus's proposal by adding a note or paragraph that highlight P384 and P512 and reference the appropriate NIST doc (SP 800-57 Part 1) which also includes recommendation about the hash alg that should be used for a specific security level

fjh: shouldn't that be in the algos note ...
... adding references

<magnus> (wasn't action-225 on Kelvin?)

<fjh> yes it was

<fjh> suggest putting reference to NIST best practices on algorithm strength into algorithms summary document

9) Best Practices - Earlier comments from Juan Carlos

deferred

10) Action Item and Issue Review

action-192 closed

<trackbot> ACTION-192 Review suggestion to change reference for EC point to OCtet string proposed by magnus closed

*d*

magnus: can we come back to identifirer discussion
... shouldn't there be a REQUIRED curve in XMLENC as well
... should it be the same curve

kelvin: agrees

<fjh> kelvin recommend 256 curve for encryption?

8)Additional Elliptic Curves (not FPWD) (continued ...)

tlr: we need an agendum for that

<fjh> thomas notes need to talk about mandatory to implement for key agreement

tlr: let's continue on actio items ...

fjh: asks tlr to get back into the discussion ;-)

<fjh> tlr asks if we should review status of diffie-hellman, make it manditory

tlr: there is a single key agreement in XMLENC ...

magnus: strange as there is no required curve#

ISSUE: shouldn't there be a REQUIRED curve in XMLENC as well

<trackbot> Created ISSUE-103 - Shouldn't there be a REQUIRED curve in XMLENC as well ; please complete additional details at http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/track/issues/103/edit .

10) Action Item and Issue Review (continued ...)

10b) Open Action Review

<fjh> http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/track/actions/open

<tlr> action-13?

<trackbot> ACTION-13 -- Konrad Lanz to review streaming using 2nd edition Signature -- due 2008-11-10 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/track/actions/13

http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/track/actions/13

<fjh> http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/track/actions/13

<tlr> I think "review action-13 results" sounds like a good agendum for an upcoming call

<fjh> wg should review this issue, new notes added. topic of backward compatibility

http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/track/actions/77

<tlr> ??

<tlr> action-77?

<trackbot> ACTION-77 -- Sean Mullan to update best practices document for section titles -- due 2008-10-14 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/track/actions/77

<fjh> http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/track/actions/100

<tlr> action-100?

<trackbot> ACTION-100 -- Konrad Lanz to email proposal regarding 2 ds:References, old and new -- due 2008-11-11 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/track/actions/100

<fjh> 100 is about backward compatibility

<tlr> I don't see any useful notes in this one

<fjh> separate from action 13

<Gerald-E> I have to leave early... sorry.

<tlr> An action, by definition, is a promise to do something by a certain time.

<tlr> action-100 is the promise to send an e-mail that can then be discussed

<Gerald-E> this review also needs to be done for issues, to know their state as well.

<tlr> therefore, action-100 should be done and moved to pending review

<tlr> +1

klanz2: transform action-100 into an issue that is how to carry existing ds:References into new signatures

<Gerald-E> I have to leave, but I will help with issues to update their status.

<Gerald-E> either description or status should be current so we know how to address this.

<fjh> scott notes that it might be useful for WG members to write note on their position on how 2.0 should proceed, share on list

<fjh> need focus and priority now

<fjh> chair requests all wg members to review their actions, update the notes, move to pending if done or moot, send email if necessary to discuss on call

<fjh> goal is to close actions

<fjh> please also review issues list and update notes, start discussion on list

10c) Positions on future XMLDSIG

10b) Open Action Review

http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/track/actions/100 still open -> transform action-100 into an issue that is how to carry existing ds:References into new signatures

tlr: does bulk closures

<tlr> happy to adjpurn early

ACTION-100 closed

<trackbot> ACTION-100 Email proposal regarding 2 ds:References, old and new closed

ISSUE: carry existing ds:References into new XMLDSIG 2.0
