Motion to approve meeting minutes

v2.40

Errata process update

  • Dina - her comments on TLS may have been addressed in the v2.40 errata by Tim/BobG
  • Action: revisit this in v2.41 to see what additional changes we need to make around TLS.

v2.41

Next Steps

  • Valerie would like to consider adding SHA3. Tim concurs.
  • Valerie. ChaCha20 and Poly - should also be included. BobR agrees.

New mechanisms

  • Handling new mechanisms. What did we discuss?
  • Tim - we discussed this as a separate document and take to committee note draft and then wrap into next spec or at least have it as committee draft.
  • Looking for volunteers to write up SHA3 - BobR action item; and Chacha and Poly - pending.

Dina: TLS 1.X text improvements

  • Pending - include as topic next

AES GCM

  • This is important to sort out for a pending validation update for RedHat - so BobR wants to include this in v2.41.
  • Wan-Teh's proposal isn't exactly a v2.41 approach - needs new functions - added in a way that would work for v3.0 - sort of a v3.0 "lite".
  • The FIPS140-2 IV's must be generated externally. This new IG is an issue.

NIST CMVP feedback

  • BobR plans to provide feedback through labs on the issue of changes and their impact on vendors.
  • Valerie also provided rather direct feedback to NIST people at ICMC.
  • How do we submit this? Tim suggested a comment with a motion from the TC for a member to submit on behalf of the TC.
  • BobR will work on the wording for this for the next call.

V3.0

  • Nothing more on this topic outside the items already mentioned under v2.41

Face to Face - 26th Feb

  • BobR thinks that RedHat can host - still waiting on internal approvals but thinks this is on track.
  • Tim - can apply to idTrust for funding for dinner.
  • Valerie will send email to Saikat&Tony about coordinating dates and the process for applying to idTrust for funding.
  • Tim suggested also checking with Bruce Rich as he was until recently on the idTrust committee so he knows how that works.

Interop update

  • Tim provided an update - progressing well.
  • Valerie - we had update from Jane. Note longer expo show hours.

Next meeting date

  • 27th January 2016

Next meeting proposed agenda

  • F2F organisation around RSA2016

New Topic

    • Dina raised issue on HMAC general mechanism. Signature length of 0 is meaningless. We will need to clean this up.
    • Open action item. Tony to file to Jira.
