Roll call > - Attendance attached to bottom of these minutes - Quorum achieved > > 2. Accept minutes from previous meeting > < http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/ > 200210/msg00015.html > > - [VOTE] unanimous consent, accepted > > 3. Review of open Action Items (AIs)... > > AI-2. Carlisle Adams to take the "Standardize Issuer Name Format" > back to the XACML for more clear requirements and/or > proposal. > - Carlisle not on call - still open > > AI-3. Eve to ask other TCs about how they did their charter > modifications. > - Eve: has checked with some others - no real mystery to it - propose new text, and OASIS rules just need majority vote - should not be drastically changing scope - pass on to Karl, and he will pass on to OASIS - do we want to add any statement of IPR to our charter? - volunteers to draft text of new charter? - Joe: it would seem appropriate to wait until SAML 1.0 is approved at end of month - Hal: remind me why are we changing charter? - Eve: We had decided originally to finish SAML 1.0, then reasses what we want to take on for scope - Joe: changing and republishing charter is a good way to generate new membership interest - Joe: would be good to have a small group work on draft - Phill: discussion of different ideas on how to maintain SAML spec (for minor changes, such as reactions to other new specs) without a full-blown TC - Jeff: believes what is on the table for next SAML work is sufficient for keeping TC alive and active - Hal: looking over current charter and not much needs to change wrt to current set of new SAML work - Volunteers for charter mod task force - Eve - Rob - Jeff - [ACTION] - Eve will try to send out a strawman draft in a couple weeks > > AI-5. Rob and Irving to look over Eve's submission on fragment > identifiers > - Jeff: from stuff on list, appears done - Eve had raised an additional proposal, which hadn't - add a SHOULD (rather than a MUST) around use of absolute URIs - [ACTION] Eve will send mail msg that wraps up resolution, for a vote next call > > AI-6. Jeff to determine if conformance language around the notions > of profiles vs. extensions is really an issue > > [in progress (will try to do this week)] > - nothing to add > > AI-7. Prateek & Jeff to look at Liberty provider metadata's > applicability for SAML specs > > [in progress (will try to do before next meeting)] > - Prateek: commits to sending out thoughts this week > > AI-8. Jeff to solicit comment on > draft-sstc-xmlsig-guidelines-0{2|3} from Liberty arena. > > [in progress] > - Jeff: got some comments back, believes they are positive - was hoping we'd have the -03, but will send the -02 > > AI-9. Scott to rev the draft-sstc-xmlsig-guidelines-02 doc to -03. > > [will do by next meeting 29-Oct] > - nothing to add > > 4. Desire for encryption > - Hal: Prateek posted msg last week, and only got one response - Question is how urgently do people think we need XML Enc? - someone pointed out that burden of key mgmt may be prohibitive, or that SSL is sufficient - Prateek: hasn't responded yet - takes POST profile for instance, where data is sensitive and people may want to protect it with encr - Hal: no reason you can't use SSL for some level of protection - Prateek: oddly, some had suggested that there was data that needed to be hidden from even the user - Jahan: in that case, believes POST is not appropriate - some discussion of this use case - Hal: doesn't think adding this would be that difficult, but would be a waste of time if no one will use it - Phill: is there more to be done than returning a SAML assertion in an encrypted node? - may need to profile XML Enc - no one is clear without examining it - Jeff: would be worth someone writing up a position paper or analysis of it - Volunteers? - [ACTION] Prateek offers to take a crack - Phill will review and assist > > 5. SAML v1.0 OASIS-wide vote > > tally can be monitored here.. > < http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-voting/ > > > cyclone: yea > asn-1.com: abstain > rsa: yea > bea: yea > sun: yea > entegrity: yea > b of a: yea > ca: yea > ean-int.org: abstain > hp: yea > entrust: yea > sap: yea > overxeer: yea > quadrasis: yea > usdoj.gov: yea > mtgmc: yea > > still need ~11 "yea" votes for SAML, if there's 250 oasis members > (need 10% at least to vote "yea") > > So there's sstc participants who've yet to vote, please encourage > your OASIS corp rep to do so! > - nothing to add > > 6. where are we at with a SAML v1.1? > > todo list from item [A] of.. > > [security-services] Proposed, categorized To-Do list for SAML 1.x > and 2.0 (SAMLng/SAML.next) > < http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services > /200208/msg00010.html > > > [A] Feasible Near-term high-priority items, and bug fixes > > - Bugs that are backwards-compatible (targeted to 1.1) > - Functionality that's backwards-compatible/orthogonal and > high-priority > - The list as a whole can be completed in 3-6 months > - Any decision that needs to be made in the short term > - the below items are in no particular order (ie unprioritized) > > [A.1] Formalizing operational agreements between sites (see > Liberty provider metadata schema (section 4 of [1]) and > the saml-dev work [2], for examples; this is guidance/ > facilitation work rather than protocol work) > > - above will be initiated w/ AI-7 > > - who will take those results and fold-in what was learned from > the SAML interop event? > > > [A.2] WS-Security profile ([3], possibly to go to WSS TC) > > - done. > > > [A.3] Figure out versioning of modularly published profile and > binding specs > > - TBD. > > - this one has to do with how do we define and version SAML as > a whole? > > - don't need to answer the below scenarios on this call, but > need someone to sign up to consider the question and write a > proposal > > - presently we refer to the "SAML v1.0 specification set", and > have "version" elements in assertions, request msg, and > response msg. > > what should we do if we eg rev the bindings and profiles spec > in the future, w/o making changes to -core ? > > what should we do if we write a separate b2b profile spec -- > what's the version of that spec once approved as a OASIS std, > say? - Jeff: need someone to sign up to analyze this > > [A.4] Sharpen conformance language around the notions of profiles > vs. extensions > > - this is AI-6, in progress > > [A.5] Express that an assertion should not be cached > > - need volunteer to consider this and see if mods to spec are > needed, and propose said mods if so. > - Jeff: need a volunteer to consider/analyze this (which may be short) - believes Hal has expressed interest in the past - Hal: made a proposal last year, but got no interest, so withdrew it - Jeff: it is DS3-01 in issues list (issues-12), and was deferred - [ACTION] Hal: will write up another (simple) proposal > > [A.6] Fix fragment identifier gaffe [4] > > - mods "on the table, essentially ready to go (modulo Eve's > last question)" > - nominally done - Eve sending out email > > [A.7] Standardize issuer name formats (request came from XACML) > > - this is AI-2 > > [A.8] Fix xmldsig issues (might turn out to be a [B] item) [5] > > - for 1.1, this will be addressed by Scott's dsig doc (yes?) > - Hal: people have asked about SAML defining some standard attributes, and wants to see reaction of the TC - Eve: could be established by a separate profile, for a given community - seems to be no support for it in near-term > > 7. Discussion of xmldsig guidelines > > - scott will have a -03 rev out by next meeting > - further discussion from thread on list? > - deferring until Scott is present > > 8. Discussion of credentials collection (?) > - Carlisle and Mike Just are not on call - Hal: Mike Just is no longer with Entrust, so Carlisle is expected to carry this proposal - concerned that there are those that have interest, but are not speaking up - Hal has offered a write up that comes down to a choice between two directions - there has been no response to influence which path to take > > 9. any other business? > - Eve: several SSTC member companies haven't voted yet, so get your voting reps to cast their vote - Phill: have we gotten any 'NO' votes? - no, just 2 'ABSTAIN' votes - see in minutes above - There was a request for clarification on IPR - Rob: RSA's legal team is nearly ready to respond, hopefully this week > > 10.
