Approved.

3. Election of Co-Chair

Hal Lockhart, BEA elected Co-Chair, SSTC

http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200603/msg00010.html <http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200603/msg00010.html>

Thanks to Abbie Barbir and Hal Lockhart for their interest in the SSTC.

Election is complete, Hal is the
new co-chair. Congratulations.

4. Remarks from Colin Wallis on  Emerging Crypto Algs SAML Conf Spec

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/security/download.php/16936/556735_1.pdf

Colin
Wallis: Government security folks in New Zealand (GCSB) have published new
specifications on crypto algorithm selection, in parallel with work coming out
of NIST and similar bodies. In particular, government agencies are leaning
toward Elliptic Curve cryptography. Currently the crypto algorithms recommended
by SAML are those supported by W3C, so changes may need to be made there.

Rob Philpott: Also some concern with availability of implementations for
emerging algorithms.

Hal Lockhart: There is not currently any effort at W3C to investigate new
cryptographic algorithms or other security issues. Doesn't feel that SAML
should go out on a limb and profile new crypto.

Rob: Should we include some explanatory text about why we list the algorithms
we do?

Colin: That would be helpful

5. Remarks from Abbie Barbir, Olivier Dubuisson, on ITU-T

standardization status

Prateek Mishra: Some question
about the role of errata in the ITU-T standardisation process

Abbie Barbir: Thought that errata could be ignored, but on closer review some
are required for interoperability.

Rob: None are normative changes, but some are clarification of intent.

Abbie: Erratum #36 is an example of one that is significant. For an implementer
of the ITU-T version of the spec, lack of access to the errata would cause
grief.

Abbie: Could publish errata as non-normative ITU-T note

Jamie: ITU-T want to put their stamp on a stable version; they need to
understand that our errata do not indicate an unstable specification.

...

Jamie: ITU-T only want to deal with things that are declared OASIS Standard; need
to be more formal about real specs, while having a non-normative channel to
convey to users of the ITU-T versions of the specs that there is an errata
process within OASIS.

Prateek: As Rob suggested, perhaps the TC needs to declare the current set of errata
as a CD.

Abbie: This could add a significant turnaround time

Rob: Would CD be enough for ITU-T, or does it have to be OASIS standard?

...

Abbie: We don't need to rework our errata, we just need to
publish a current version at a stable location so that the ITU-T version of the
spec can refer to it.

Interested folks are not on the call.

Rob: is there anything on
the saml-dev list that needs TC consideration?

Prateek: anyone want to
bring one of those issues before the TC?

Rob: do we want to create
an erratum around the artifact format discussion, such as the point that format
0x04 was intended to be mandatory to implement?

Prateek: Action for Jahan:
saml-dev message number 17 in March  (http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/saml-dev/200603/msg00017.html) contains
a potential erratum.
