Subject: The Understanding Key Partitions TN
I've revisited this TN, and I'm convinced that we should expand it. One
thing I'd really like to add is how one can implement a strict policy on
permission to publish keys.
It's easy to state that a publisher may not publish any key for which they
do not own the keygenerator tModel, but we run into a little trouble with
keyGenerator tModels. We don't want to hand the parent keyGenerator tModel over
to a publisher for the period during which they publish theirs, and we don't
want to have a huge exception in the policy, right? So I thought I'd outline a
procedure whereby the owner of the parent keyGenerator tModel publishes the
keyGenerator tModel, then uses custody transfer to hand that tModel off to
the publisher who wants it. All very simple and using nothing but
the existing APIs, but not completely obvious to a neophyte. And that's what TNs
are for, right? And this particular TN looks pretty empty without
this.
I'll be trying to write the revised TN before the face-to-face (heck, I
have ALL weekend, right?), and I'll try to post it to KAVI (if...) before then
so members who aren't attending the face-to-face get their chance to explain to
me that I'm an idiot beforehand :-)
