[dss] Comments to the minutes of 16 December meeting.

Dear Robert and all

Sorry for sending these comments so late,...

The minutes say:

2. XML security timestamping protocol (Juan Carlos Cruellas)  

This document is similar to the Entrust submission discussed last week in that both deal with

timestamping protocols, though this may be expressed as OID's rather than

URN's.  

Different models of timestamping use cases contained in the document may be

useful to this TC.  

Well, most of the text is right, but I would suggest to change in the following

way:

2. XML security timestamping protocol (Juan Carlos Cruellas)  

This document is similar to the Entrust submission discussed last week in that both deal with

timestamping protocols. Both of them use URI as a way to identify

policies. However, these policies could also be identified by OIDs.

It is commented  that the TS 101903 contains a XML schema definition for an

element able to deal with both ways of identification. This element was defined 

when envisaging the issue of identifying signature policies.

Different models of timestamping use cases contained in the document may be

useful to this TC.  

I think that this clarifies the issue: initially both documents Entrust and the 

paper by Axelle Apvrille and Vincent Girier propose to identify the Signature Policies

by use of URI. In ETSI TS 101 903, when facing this problem, we proposed a new

XML element able to also identify them by bot, URI or OID expressed as an URN....

Juan Carlos
