6) XML Signature Revision -  Errata 01 (Distinguished Name) issue
http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xmldsig-errata#E01

6a) Correct editors draft for list of items in bullet list 6.4.4

Original: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/#sec-X509Data
Editors draft: http://www.w3.org/2007/xmlsec/Drafts/xmldsig-core/#sec- 
X509Data

Question: "compliant with RFC2253" or "compliant with the DNAME  
encoding rules at the end of this section"

Current editors draft incorrect for this bullet list.

Current proposal (in line with E01):
(Konrad: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/ 
2007Jun/0004.html )

* The X509IssuerSerial element, which contains an X.509 issuer  
distinguished name/serial number pair.
The distinguished name SHOULD be compliant with the DNAME encoding  
rules at the end of this section and the serial number is represented  
as a decimal integer,
* The X509SubjectName element, which contains an X.509 subject  
distinguished name that SHOULD be compliant with the DNAME encoding  
rules at the end of this section,

6b) Issues with DNAME rules at end of section

E01 suggests changing

"Also, strings in DNames (X509IssuerSerial,X509SubjectName, and  
KeyName if approriate) should be encoded as follows:"

with

"DNames (X509IssuerSerial, X509SubjectName, and KeyName if  
appropriate) should be encoded in accordance with RFC2253 [LDAP-DN]  
except for the encoding of string values within a DName:"

This is the current version in editors red-line draft.

Issues

i) Is this optional?

Test cases suggest yes. Wording of errata (with should) suggests yes.

Konrad: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/ 
2007Jun/0004.html
References: http://www.w3.org/Signature/2001/04/05-xmldsig- 
interop.html#DNAME

Sean: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/ 
2007Jun/0005.html
"It would be nice to be able to support the default RFC 2253  
algorithm without *requiring* any additional processing."

if so, change "should be" to "SHOULD be"?

ii) Add warning

warning similar to that of section 7.2 of RFC 2253: http:// 
www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2253.txt
Sean: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/ 
2007Jun/0015.html

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/2007Jun/ 
0024.html

iii) How to handle XML escaping

Angle brackets, ampersand, can cause XML to be ill-formed.

Konrad: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/ 
2007May/0041.htmls

Thomas: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/ 
2007May/0048.html

iv) encoding leading space, forgotten? Or remove requirement to  
escape trailing space?

Konrad: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/ 
2007Jun/0004.html

* Escape any trailing white space by replacing "\ " with "\20".

v) Reference successor to  RFC 2253, RFC 4515

Is sense of WG is not to do this, since implementations based on RFC  
2253?

6c) review of implementations re DName processing?

7)  XML Signature Algorithm identifiers

Incorporate algorithm identifiers defined in note (section 3) into  
XML Signature revision, as follows:

Identifiers
Canonical XML 1.1 (omits comments)
http://www.w3.org/2006/12/xml-c14n11
Canonical XML 1.1 with comments
http://www.w3.org/2006/12/xml-c14n11#WithComments

7a) Changes to DSig-Usage note

See http://www.w3.org/TR/DSig-usage/

Update to reference CR version of C14N11 in note
   http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xml-c14n11-20061220/

Algorithm  identifiers update?

8) XML Signature: ds:Reference type as URI versus ds:Object Mime Type
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/2007Jun/ 
0000.html , Juan-Carlos

9) C14N11 Review

Draft : http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2007/05/CR-xml-c14n11-20070509.htm

CR transition request: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml- 
core-wg/2007May/0040

9a) merge path, C14N11 Appendix issue

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/2007May/ 
0044.html , Konrad Lanz

Action 35: Review Konrad's message re xml:base by next call, Rich Salz

Action 36 Review Konrad's message re xml:base by next call, Juan  
Carlos Cruellas

Action 37 Review Konrad's message re xml:base by next call, Sean Mullan

Action 38 Review Konrad's message re xml:base by next call, Ed Simon

Next steps?

10) Interop

10a) participation expectations

Some material in this agenda item might be member confidential.

    Review interop testing expectations:
    http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/40279/interop-interest/results

10b) Test cases

    i) Regression tests - original XML Signature and Decryption
    Transform cases Action to review and summarize?

    ii) test defined in new C14N11 example (as updated)
    <http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2007/05/CR-xml-c14n11-20070509>

    iii) E01 - see ACTION-19 Agreed at F2F that no tests needed for
    E02-E05

    iv) Action to review and summarize test for E06, test for base64
    URI?  Test exists but not well-defined?

    v) Action to summarize dditional tests?

    greg: test case for 1.0 as default see if 1.1 by mistake
    <hal> test case which checks for correct sig when xml:base is
    present
    <hal> test case which checks for correct sig when xml:id is present
    <fjh> thomas: generate sig over doc subset, must include c14n11
    as  final transform
    <fjh> greg: new generators not rely on default c14n
    <klanz2> Test case for conversion NodeSetData to OctetStreamData:
    <klanz2> Use case: Generate a signature having a reference with
    some xpath transform selecting NodeSetData
    <klanz2> then we add a XSLT transform that clearly needs
    OctetStreamData
    <klanz2> Check on verification: if the resulting signature
    actually made the use of c14n 1.1 explicit in the chain of  
transforms
