Status on 2.40 third review

  • Bob G: Bob & Valerie have started work on requesting the 2.40 review. Chet has asked that a change be made to the base spec to correct normative reference to a draft document. Bob will make that amendment to move it forward.
  • Bob G: The document history is a little sparse in referencing other doc/versions. If no-one objects, we'll just keep the brief document history for this version. No objections - Bob G will submit the documents and expects to see the public review to start sometime next week. We may have to wait until the meeting after next to vote to promote the document to OASIS Candidate Specification and require the Statements of Use.
  • Sven: What are the the next steps after the OASIS Candidate Spec? Are there any plans for market statements, how are we promoting this top the community so implementers/consumers can follow the releases?
  • Bob G: Once the specification is approved by OASIS, there is typically a press release which usually attracts blogs and analysts coverage etc. Expect this to take s similar course. Expect sometime in September, we dedicate a meeting to planning actions to broadcast this. We also need to plan the activities to make the effort including the 2.40 release and future releases more visible.
  • Valerie: I have a talk accepted at the international Cryptographic Module Conference and I will be covering PKCS#11. If anyone has anything they'd like me to cover - let me know.
  • Sven: There is a smartcard conference on in September and asked if there's something he can present there. Bob G: That would be great
  • Bob G will post some documents to the repository to be used for presentation materials.

How to get new mechanisms out faster than v3.0 (AES-XTS, possibly others)/minor releases

  • Bob G: Tim, can you please bring us up to speed on last meeting's conversation?
  • Tim: We have a list of otems that didn't make it into 2.40 that don't require the structural changes required for 3.0. Example is having an attribute that represents a unique identifier for a given object. We've spoken about a release prior to the next major version and minor things like attributes would be good for that.
  • Bob: Valerie, do you have a list of items that we can review for this? Wan-Teh has some items we can use like padding etc
  • Valerie: We should look at the list of ideas/suggestions we already have on record and sort them into things we can look at to see if we have items suitable for a minor release.
  • Bob G: I start a version of that list and forward it to Valerie
  • Valerie to work it through and put it on the wiki
  • Bob G: that should be up for folks to review for next weeks call

Statements of Use

  • Bob R is still waiting for feedback from his legal folks
  • Bob G: Wan-Teh, how are you progressing?
  • Wan-Teh: has been very busy and hasn't got to it yet. Intend to publish a draft in about 4 weeks.
