"Dependencies (reports on other groups)" taken up [from npdoty] 16:11:03 fjh: Device APIs WG, co-chaired with Robin Berjon 16:11:17 ... JavaScript device APIs that are related to HTML5, though not Geolocation 16:11:36 ... media capture from a device, for example; a variety of sensors (proximity, battery status, network info) 16:11:42 ... actuators (like vibration) 16:11:48 ... information (gallery, contacts, calendar) 16:12:04 MarkLizar has joined #privacy 16:12:06 ... a variety of information sources and actuators 16:12:13 ... several privacy issues 16:12:51 ... access to the info, unexpected actions, fingerprinting (like which codecs, etc.) 16:13:30 ... a mobile phone/device and a Web application (not necessarily through the browser) that legitimately wants to access a contact from your device's address book 16:13:48 ... an additional model of a device, a web page and then a third-party service somewhere on the Internet 16:14:05 ... maybe you want to edit your photos on another site, as a service; JavaScript mashups 16:14:35 ... did document requirements, principles and concerns related to privacy 16:14:53 http://www.w3.org/2009/dap/ 16:15:04 http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/NOTE-dap-privacy-reqs-20100629/ 16:15:22 ... some things can be handled by an API, some things really can't (like the secondary use or later distribution) 16:15:53 fjh: what I keep saying, and this keeps coming up in W3C workshops, that we don't have the entire system which makes it difficult to address privacy 16:16:24 +??P44 16:16:29 ... wrote a Web Application Privacy Best Practices, wanted to note privacy best practices that the application itself can handle (that we can't control in the API itself) 16:16:39 ... think this is all obvious to people on the call ;) 16:16:51 http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-app-privacy-bp-20110804/ 16:17:38 fjh: we also had an effort, via Alissa and John Morris, for users to communicate their privacy concerns to a site 16:17:58 ... we had a simple, clear list of rulesets, to be shared from the user to the server 16:18:11 ... don't expect it to progress in the Working Group because of a variety of concerns 16:18:27 ... potential liability, practical issues; not necessarily good or bad 16:18:44 ... an easier thing to do is minimization: design the API to return the minimum amount 16:18:54 ... you could with any system get more than you should by trying, but don't by default 16:19:01 ... should be a general practice, localized and doable 16:19:25 ... fingerprinting is a real trade-off, we don't have answers to that, I'm hearing that there's a tradeoff between privacy and utility and people tend towards utility 16:19:42 ... Web Intents Task Force and Media Task Force (joint with WebApps WG) 16:20:03 ... constraints to specify parameters for certain media (codecs, etc.) 16:20:29 ... all of those constraints taken together can perform a fingerprinting function, but having them helps provide the service in the appropriate way 16:20:48 ... can accrete a lot of minor pieces and in the aggregate have a substantial impact on privacy 16:21:18 ... can't really have policy per se because who would determine the policy in the decentralized system 16:21:37 ... so we'll have user interaction instead (transparent, user will have a choice, which may be persisted) 16:21:57 ... do not mandate any user interface (a generally accepted principle), or even mandate a particular interaction, which is left to the implementation 16:22:12 ... relying on the market to decide, or legislation, or best practices or competition; not in the spec itself 16:22:54 ... on the UI question, mandating that is a mistake, makes more sense to insist on a particular UI paradigm 16:23:29 ... Web Intents (also Web Activities from Mozilla): the user mediates the selection of a service with some controls 16:23:44 ... in some cases we don't need the user interaction? leads to a potential privacy issue 16:24:00 ... will go to FPWD soon, doesn't have a privacy considerations section yet 16:24:29 ... our group handles only the Device APIs segment of an entire system which is a fundamental problem 16:24:41 ... but at least hope to alert people to the privacy issues at hand 16:24:52 +q 16:25:01 ack Christine 16:25:07 -??P11 16:25:30 present+ Kasey 16:25:42 Kasey: what is it that we can provide here? are there open issues we can advise on? 16:26:11 fjh: I was just coming today to inform on this. any input or help is welcome, although I don't want us to repeat any long debates. 16:26:28 ... the rulesets there's not much we can do with at this point, but any other suggestions are welcome 16:26:57 q+ 16:27:06 ... the political aspect we wore ourselves out over the course of a year. user mediation and then minimization and practical things 16:27:15 James_ has joined #privacy 16:27:30 ... an approach across all of W3C, but we need help with specifics 16:27:45 ack wseltzer 16:27:45 ... a way to handle fingerprinting, or balance against the usefulness 16:27:48 q+ 16:28:27 wseltzer: work with Tor, which specifically works on preventing fingerprinting 16:28:35 -> https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/en/design/#adversary 16:28:44 ... a standardized profile if you want to avoid fingerprinting, even across browsers, a larger anonymity set 16:29:39 fjh: why not, even in the media case, just define profiles, a great idea 16:29:54 ack npdoty 16:30:44 [perhaps offer a standard "anonymity profile"] 16:32:24 npd: can we help a little with fingerprinting by making it easier for the browser (or a researcher) to detect? 16:32:45 fjh: do we have that documented somewhere to follow up? (not that I know of) 16:32:54 thanks for the various ideas 16:33:04 virginie_galindo: started the Cryptography WG recently 16:33:30 I will share profile idea on the media task force list, also follow up on fingerprinting detection. Can follow up on PING list if that helps 16:33:37 [note Panopticlick, re fingerprinting detection: https://panopticlick.eff.org/ ] 16:33:54 ... some ideas inside W3C on Identity with a wide variety of topics, our scope is to develop APIs, cryptographic tools for developers 16:34:33 ... create key, encrypt/decrypt, sign/check signature, anything a developer needs to add cryptography to their application (end-to-end security) 16:34:59 ... developers using the Crypto API should be able to provide privacy, but we do not give one solution, just tools for developers to build their own solution 16:35:51 ... currently discussing the JavaScript API, how to handle the secrets, make sure that when the user generates a secret they won't be tracked by that secret 16:36:23 ... when you generate identifiers, shouldn't be associated with a particular user, a problem we are trying to solve 16:36:31 q+ 16:36:39 tara: looking for starting points to help with this problem? 16:36:47 ack fjh 16:37:14 -MacTed 16:37:37 fjh: sometime you want to know who the counterparty is (use a PKI), but for confidentiality you want to do key management in a way.... would think you would want to use symmetric keys 16:37:54 virginie_galindo: want to build the basic tools to use any model that they want 16:38:26 Kasey: can we circulate documents and get back to you with comments? 16:38:31 q+ 16:38:39 it seems that if you use public key crypto and PKI it might be hard to keep identity information secret? 16:38:51 virginie_galindo: can send you a link, but discussion ongoing very actively on the mailing list 16:38:55 -> http://www.w3.org/2012/webcrypto/ Web Cryptography WG 16:38:56 ack npdoty 16:39:10 -> http://www.w3.org/2012/webcrypto/WebCryptoAPI/ Editor's Draft 16:39:56 ndoty: why is there a privacy problem with crypto, what is the tracking problem? 16:40:13 s/ndoty/npdoty/ 16:41:50 cviriginie_galindo: oncern of leakage of service use through leakage of key information - want to maintain privacy around use of service 16:41:59 s/cvirginie/virginie/ 16:42:12 s/ oncern/concern/ 16:42:26 s/key information/crypto key information/ 16:42:35 Web Crypto WG wiki is : http://www.w3.org/2012/webcrypto/ 16:42:43 heard warnings from vendors (and from Wendy on fingerprinting) 16:43:11 npdoty: tracking protection WG started in April 16:43:45 -> http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/ Tracking Protection WG 16:43:56 npdoty: web services can track user activity so do not track DNT which has been focus 16:44:13 npdoty: user expresses preference then this is followed by service 16:44:41 npdoty: not enforcement, user expressing preferences, service needs to respect it 16:45:28 npdoty: new work in W3C on defining what it means to "comply" 16:45:42 npdoty: heated debate 16:46:13 npdoty: F2F next week, trying to get to last call 16:46:54 Thanks, Frederick! 16:47:03 npdoty: focus is 3rd party tracking 16:47:59 q+ 16:49:23 ack fjh 16:51:06 -Narm_Gadiraju 16:51:51 http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/ 16:52:07 Thank you very much Frederick, Virginie, Nick. 16:52:13 npdoty: some challenges we've had with handling press coverage 16:52:42 +1, take it up next call 16:52:51 Zakim, take up agendum 4 16:52:51 agendum 4.
