Subject: Report on Workshop on Next Steps for XML Signature and XML 
Encryption

On 25 and 26 September 2007, W3C held a Workshop on Next Steps for XML 
Signature and XML Encryption [1] in Mountain View, CA, USA, hosted by 
VeriSign. The group has published its summary report [2].

The Workshop report indicates strong interest in additional work on XML 
security and interest in a Working Group. Attendees identified the areas 
of highest interest:

- Create a basic profile of XML Signature
- Review and possibly update the referencing model using xml:id and 
other mechanisms
- Update cryptographic algorithms
- Revisit XML canonicalization
- Update the transform model. Areas of ongoing and medium interest that 
were identified are scalable profiling, implementation guidance, key 
management issues, XKMS, XML 1.1, EXI, and interaction with other 
security organizations.

The Workshop report will serve as input for the deliverable of the XML 
Security Specification Maintenance Working Group to propose a draft 
charter for possible follow-up work. To enable discussion among Workshop 
attendees, Working Group participants, and the broader community, this 
mailing list, public-xmlsec-discuss@w3.org (public archive [3]), has 
been created. Participation in the mailing list is open to all 
interested parties.

Current list subscribers include the members of the XML Security 
Specifications Maintenance Working Group, and workshop participants.

 If you want to be removed from the list, please let me know.
