Re: [security-services] Submission of "Liberty Alliance Trust ModelsGuidelines Document" to the SSTC

I realize that the TC is obliged to accept any submission that conforms to OASIS rules but would like some context relative to SAML.

Subject: RE: Liberty ID-FF 1.2 Contribution to SSTC

To:   OASIS Security Services Technical Committee

From: Jason Rouault, HP

      Rob Philpott, RSA Security

As members of the OASIS SSTC, we would like to submit the Liberty 

Alliance Trust Models Guidelines Specification ("TMGS", further 

identified below in [1]) for consideration in preparing future 

versions of SAML. This document provides non-normative guidance for 

implementors and deployers on establishing trust, and is a "supporting 

document" for ID-FF 1.2.

 

The Liberty Alliance Board, which is the steward for Liberty Alliance 

Final Specifications, has approved a motion to enable further 

development of the Liberty Trust Models Guidelines Specification under 

the auspices of the SSTC.  We believe it is in the best interests of 

the industry to converge this document, and otherwise resolve any 

issues, with future SAML versions.

 

Copyright in the Liberty Trust Models Guidelines is held jointly by 

the Liberty Alliance member companies identified in the document 

copyright statements.  Based on the Liberty Alliance Agreements and 

the board approval, at least one of our companies hereby grants OASIS 

the copyright license needed to prepare derivative works, among other 

activities, as required by the OASIS IPR Policy, section 3.1(1).  We 

believe that all of the necessary conditions for a proper Contribution 

as shown in the IPR Policy section 3.1 are met.

 

While the "Notice" portion of the Trust Models Guidelines 

Specification indicates that no rights are granted to prepare 

derivative works, this letter acts as the necessary license for OASIS 

to prepare derivative works.

 

Our Liberty Alliance Membership Agreements also provide for Liberty 

Alliance members to grant patent licenses to all parties under at 

least fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms, if such licenses 

are required to implement the final Liberty Alliance specifications.  

Further information on specific disclosures which may have been made 

by Liberty Alliance members is located on the Liberty Alliance web 

site [2].

Please let us know if there are any concerns or questions about this 

submission.

 

Thank you.

 

Jason, Jeff, Rob, Frederick
