MEETING MINUTES OF BDXR TC MEETING 25 JULY 2012 ATTENDANCE Roger Bass Kenneth Bengtsson (chair) Jon Bosak Andrea Caccia Pim van der Eijk Sander Fieten Giorgia Lodi Alfio Raia Susanne Wigaard RECAP OF PEPPOL SMP Kenneth gave summarized introduction of the PEPPOL SMP (metadata service). The presentation is available here: https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/bdxr/download.php/46543/latest/SMP%20recap.pptx It was discussed that the PEPPOL SMP specifications do not support any form of security, such as authentication or the use of SSL. Dale has previously raised technical issues with using SSL with PEPPOL’s SML/SMP model. In the PEPPOL model, all metadata contained in the SMP is publicly available, though the information is signed so that the authenticity of the information can be verified. Another security issue relates to the ability to blacklist/whitelist senders. The “Connect” protocol proposed by Pim addresses this issue. We discussed that the “Connect” protocol can be placed either with the metadata service in the architecture or in the gateway itself. Placing the “Connect” protocol with the metadata service raised concerns about how recipients can maintain the blacklists/whitelists. Placing the “Connect” protocol in the gateway raised concerns about creating transport protocol lock-ins. It was agreed to address these issues through the use case documentation. USE CASES AND ARCHITECTURE Following up on end-to-end evidences from last conference call, Susanne noted that this does not necessarily have to be addressed on a protocol/document delivery level but can also be resolved on a document level within the payload of the message, and that e-CODEX has not finally decided on an approach for this. Andrea will take initiative to set up an evidences task force with members of the TC, possibly leaded by Juan Carlos. Andrea will see if there are use cases to add relating to evidences. Roger and Kenneth will be meeting before next conference call to work on the use cases document and an invite will be send to the mailing list.
