Subject: [security-services] OASIS SSTC letter to authors of WS-Security (draft)
Folks,
this is the proposed text of
the message we plan to send to WS-Security authors.
I am circulating it to
the list as (1) we voted on the contents on the message, not
its exact form,
so here is a last chance to object, (2) neither jeff nor joe was on the
call,
so here is a chance for them to object.
Bob M. and Prateek

In April 2002, Microsoft and IBM jointly published a document entitled
"Security in a Web Services World: A Proposed Architecture and
Roadmap" (http://www.verisign.com/wss/architectureRoadmap.pdf), and
Microsoft, IBM, and VeriSign published a companion specification, "Web
Services Security (WS-Security) Version 1.0"
(http://www.verisign.com/wss/wss.pdf). The OASIS Security Services
Technical Committee, which has produced the Security Assertion Markup
Language (SAML) specification, considers these documents to be
important contributions to web services security. The SSTC views the
WS-Security technical specification as complementary to SAML, and
intends to use WS-Security in specifying the use of SAML for adding
security features to SOAP messages.
The SSTC urges the authors of the WS-Security specification to submit
the specification to an open standards body for further development,
standardization, and building of industry consensus. In particular,
intellectual property rights issues regarding this specification and
its technologies should be addressed to enable broad use of this work.
