Subject: Request for comment on W3C Last Call of XML Encryption 1.1, XMLSecurity Generic Hybrid Ciphers and XML Signature 1.1
The W3C XML Security working group [1] has published three W3C Last Call [2] working drafts, indicating that the Working Group considers them complete, that they have met requirements and it is appropriate to seek comment. The deadline for comment is 10 June 2010. The documents are the following: (1) XML Encryption 1.1 [3]: The working group has updated the original 2002 XML Encryption specification to an XML Encryption 1.1 draft. The update includes clarifications, editorial corrections, addition of mandatory to implement Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement, support for Key Derivation, requiring SHA-256 and discouraging use of SHA-1 and other changes; complete details of the changes are at [4]. (2) XML Security Generic Hybrid Ciphers [5]: This is a new specification that augments XML Encryption Version 1.1 by defining algorithms, XML types and elements necessary to enable use of generic hybrid ciphers in XML Security applications. (3) XML Signature 1.1 [6]: The WG also published a second Last Call for XML Signature 1.1, with the only substantive changes being the result of comments from the previous Last Call, as noted in the status section of that document. To note are the addition of the KeyInfoReference element and a correction related to the use of Derived Keys. The deadline is 10 June for comments. Please send any comment to the public comment list at public-xmlsec@w3.org (archived at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec/ ). The WG also published an updated draft of the XML Security Algorithms Cross-Reference [7], to add Generic Hybrid Cipher algorithm information. regards, Frederick Frederick Hirsch, Nokia Chair, W3C XML Security WG [1] http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/ [2] http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#last-call [3] http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-xmlenc-core1-20100513/ [4] http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-xmlenc-core1-20100513/explain.html [5] http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-xmlsec-generic-hybrid-20100513/ [6] http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-xmldsig-core1-20100513/ [7] http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-xmlsec-algorithms-20100513/
