external reviews

McCool: found 3 people for external reviews
... victoria fenwick from Intel
... willing to review
... and
... IoT security Chair
... good to understand what kind of template/process for security reviews

Kaz: don't think usually W3C groups require any specific template/procedure for review
... Chairs can simply ask them by email

IIC/OpenFog report

McCool: Taki and Matsuda-san were at IIC
... OpenFog related to edge computing
... need to write up something to make presentation
... also would like to be consistent with IoT vocabulary standards
... updated the document to be consistent with ITU standards

Security conferences

McCool: will check emails but I myself don't have enough bandwidth to attend
... we should announce it to the whole group to see people's interest

PR on Testing

pr 6

McCool: made a PR
... vulnerability issues

Elena: people should understand the point

McCool: we can merge this PR itself but we need to see the consistency in general
... being consistent is important

related wot-security issue 124

McCool: no objections to merge the PR
... and merges it

Security section within Scripting

<zolkis> https://github.com/w3c/wot-scripting-api/pull/160

McCool: need to do another review
... some confusion with what "runtime" is
... runtime security discussion within scripting
... specifically, scripting runtime
... need to brick into pieces
... security considerations for protocol binding to be included in the binding note, etc.

Zoltan: container content to be included in the architecture document
... scripting-specific content to be included in the scripting document

McCool: issue on the level of details
... kind of want to modularize the things

Zoltan: the approach is understandable
... but need runtime description and api definition?
... basic HTTP words from client
... what the network interface is like, etc.

McCool: very common pattern there

Elena: don't think we have time to create another new document

McCool: we should do is summarizing main points in the architecture document
... right now too much content for the architecture document

Zoltan: would merge this PR 160 itself
... and then think about terminology separately

McCool: goes through the issues on wot-architecture repo

wot-architecture issues

McCool: let me create another issue here
... "Refine Terminology for WoT Runtime"

<McCool> https://github.com/w3c/wot-architecture/issues/83

McCool: we need more time for review
... it's too long for the architecture document

Elena: we had some PR about that, didn't we?

McCool: need to check

Zoltan: have added a link from scripting PR 160 to architecture issue 83
... and merged PR 160

McCool: will create a PR for architecture about security
... when will be the next architecture call?

Kaz: Wednesday, Feb. 20

McCool: have overlap for that call...
... will work on GitHub anyway

Best practices document

McCool: still need to work on the best practices doc
... will look into IIC security document as well
... we need to see what should be included in the best practices document

<McCool> https://w3c.github.io/wot-security-best-practices/

McCool: "4. Thing Directories"
... still to-be-added topics here
... we should include proxies
... protected authentication
... don't make it naked on Web servers

Elena: can work with some of the sections
... after coming back from vacation

McCool: don't worry. can work on that
... pretty short section
... cleaning up the "4. Thing Directories"
... and add content on proxies?
... and update "5. Object Security"
... would create a PR and then have review by the security tf later

Elena: sounds good

AOB

McCool: any other business?
... we've not discussed penetration testing yet
... planning to have some test with my implementations
... to demonstrate concrete plan
... abstract plan framework
... and then concrete plan
... any information about browser testing?

Kaz: maybe something on the Web Platform Testing site

McCool: ok
... that's just a heads-up
