   ACTION-350?

   <trackbot> ACTION-350 -- Tyler Close to report about browser security
   model discussions -- due 2008-07-16 -- OPEN

   <trackbot> [12]http://www.w3.org/2006/WSC/track/actions/350

   tyler: don't think we have anything about impact of certificates of
   different classes in a mix of frames

   tlr: write up something?

   tyler: basic scenario -- man in the middle attacker intercepts, uses
   self-signed cert; there's window open; attacker opens other tab; other
   tab has real site with real cert
   ... but now evil site can navigate that tab ...
   ... can inject, has full control, oooops ...

beware of finer-grained origins

   yngve: shouldn't domain control in JavaScript handle that?

   tyler: nope, this is a network attack

   yngve: oh

   tyler: user sees first pop-up -- not trustworthy, but "must be able to
   trust the real thing"

   yngve: if the url in the other window is for different domain...?

   tyler: same domain!

   yngve: but it's being presented as other -- or directly through -- ok

   tyler: network attacker allows request to go through once, intercepts
   once, two pages on same domain, controlled by different parties
   ... one might look trustworthy, one might not ...

   trackbot, close ACTION-350

   <trackbot> ACTION-350 report about browser security model discussions
   closed

   <scribe> ACTION: tyler to frame discussion about interaction of
   navigation policy and security indicators [recorded in
   [13]http://www.w3.org/2008/08/27-wsc-minutes.html#action01]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-503 - Frame discussion about interaction of
   navigation policy and security indicators [on Tyler Close - due
   2008-09-03].

   yngve: would think that there isn't an EV indicator in that case
   ... or AA ;-) ...

   tyler: multiple different certs for the same hostname, treat that as an
   attack
   ... the attacker produces self-signed ...

   yngve: yes, could be a problem

review mobileOK things

   [14]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wsc-wg/2008Aug/0013.html

   [15]http://www.w3.org/TR/mobileOK-basic10-tests/#http_response

   <yngve> tlr:

   <scribe> ACTION: tlr to propose comment on mobileOK test; propose on
   list with 24h objection period [recorded in
   [16]http://www.w3.org/2008/08/27-wsc-minutes.html#action02]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-504 - Propose comment on mobileOK test;
   propose on list with 24h objection period [on Thomas Roessler - due
   2008-09-03].

   [17]http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-ct-guidelines-20080801/#sec-https-link
   -rewriting

   yngve: should mention client-side certificates

   tlr: also, breaks channel binding

   [18]http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-ct-guidelines-20080801/#sec-https-link
   -rewriting

   yngve: channel binding is work in progress
   ... and the problem is that they won't find out until they actually do
   the request ...
   ... most likely failure scenario is for the site to respond with
   invalid login in text, in case they don't break the connection ...

   draft-altman-tls-channel-bindings

   tlr: propose we suggest that they ask Altman and Williams, and also TLS
   WG

   yngve: yeah, has been discussed at TLS WG meetings several times
   ... mechanisms to use the master secret to get more key material for
   application use

   <scribe> ACTION: tlr propose comment re https lnk rewriting,
   client-side certs and channel bindings [recorded in
   [19]http://www.w3.org/2008/08/27-wsc-minutes.html#action03]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-505 - Propose comment re https lnk rewriting,
   client-side certs and channel bindings [on Thomas Roessler - due
   2008-09-03].

   yngve: one point about the channel binding -- that is going to require
   special apps that have support for it
   ... question is whether or not that would happen; then again, url will
   control
   ... question how relevant the issue is for this use case

last call comments

   [20]http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/39814/WD-wsc-ui-20080

   <scribe> ACTION: thomas to update reference to 5280 [recorded in

   ... TLS 1.2 was released a couple of weeks back

   tlr: yngve, please send mail
   ... propose that we add reference to TLSv12 ...
   ... anything on weak algorithms there?

   yngve: moved elsewhere
   ... separate document on DES ...
   ... there is a separate document about DES and IDEA ..
   ... they removed all ancient ciphers from the document ...

CR planning

   ACTION-500?

   <trackbot> ACTION-500 -- Mary Ellen Zurko to inquire phb about ev cert
   for test environment -- due 2008-08-20 -- OPEN

   <trackbot> [22]http://www.w3.org/2006/WSC/track/actions/500

   tlr: phill, anything new?

   phb: cannot get you EV cert without going through the process
   ... however, we do know how to fiddle with IE to make it display
   anything as EV ...
   ... presumably, FF and Opera can help with that ...

   yngve: EV OIDs are digitally signed
   ... no test versions ...
   ... intentional that we don't let anybody override it ...

   phb: in case of ie7, possible to override by manually marking trust
   root
   ... as being EV ...
   ... it's not difficult ...

   yngve: malware!

   tlr: rathole!
