RE: [wss] Revised WSS OTP-Token proposal
OK so there will be one proposal from Verisign and one proposal from RSA as input documents, right ?

RE: [wss] Revised WSS OTP-Token proposal

Hi Tony.

Here is VeriSign's statement on this issue

"VeriSign will contribute a draft version of the OTP token 

profile that was developed by VeriSign.  VeriSign agrees that 

this contribution will be compliant to the terms and conditions 

that are specified under OASIS.IPR.3.1 of the 'Legacy OASIS 

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Policy'. 

Additionally, VeriSign is not aware of any patents or applications 

that may be relevant to the proposed contribution."

Thanks,

Hans

		 Its still confusing as its states that "RSA Security proposes to

submit a version of this document as

		 "input to the WSS TC" yet as discussed it was indicated that

this effort is not about a single technology, so I would assume that the

document would be not input but referenced, much like PKI, Kerberos etc.

Also if RSA plans to really submit the document as input what would be

the IPR terms ? Same goes to Verisign ?

		 John and Hans, thank you for taking the time to update and

re-post your proposal. 

		 

		 TC Members, Now that we have a modified proposal in front of us

what do people think? 

		 

		 I would very much like to see some discussion here so that we

can be effective on the call on Tuesday. 

		 

		 Thanks to those of you that have already posted your views 

		 

		 Cheers

		 Kelvin
