Subject: Approval of 'SAML v2.0 Metadata Profile for Algorithm Support' as Committee Specification
OASIS Members, We are pleased to announce the approval of an OASIS Committee Specification (CS) by the Security Services (SAML) TC Members: SAML v2.0 Metadata Profile for Algorithm Support Version 1.0 Committee Specification 01 21 February 2011 Overview: The SAML V2.0 Metadata specification includes an element allowing entities to describe the XML Encryption algorithms they support. This specification defines metadata extension elements to enable entities to describe the XML Signature algorithms they support, and a profile for using both elements to enable better algorithm agility for profiles that rely on metadata. The OASIS Security Services (SAML) TC was chartered to address issues and enhancement requests that have arisen from experience with real-world SAML implementations and with other security architectures that use SAML. Specifications developed by the TC members add support for features that were deferred from previous versions of SAML. TC members are also developing an approach for unifying various identity federation models found in real-world SAML implementations and SAML-based security architectures. URIs: The prose specification document and related files at CS level are available here: Editable source format: http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/Post2.0/sstc-saml-metadata-algsupport-v1.0-cs01.odt HTML format: http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/Post2.0/sstc-saml-metadata-algsupport-v1.0-cs01.html PDF format: http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/Post2.0/sstc-saml-metadata-algsupport-v1.0-cs01.pdf XML Schema: http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/Post2.0/sstc-saml-metadata-algsupport-v1.0.xsd Distribution ZIP file: http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/Post2.0/sstc-saml-metadata-algsupport-v1.0-cs01.zip Members of the OASIS Security Services (SAML) TC [1] requested a Special Majority Vote to approve this specification (Public Review Draft 02) as a Committee Specification. The specification had been released for public review as required by the TC Process [2]. The vote to approve at Committee Specification (CS) level passed [3], and the approved CS 01 is available online in the OASIS Library as referenced above. - rcc Robin Cover Interim TC Administrator OASIS, Director of Information Services Editor, Cover Pages and XML Daily Newslink Email: robin@oasis-open.org Staff bio: http://www.oasis-open.org/who/staff.php#cover Cover Pages: http://xml.coverpages.org/ Newsletter: http://xml.coverpages.org/newsletterArchive.html Tel: +1 972-296-1783 ========== Additional references: [1] OASIS Security Services (SAML) TC http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/security/ [2] Public review and CS approval http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/201011/msg00009.html http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/201011/msg00010.html http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process-2010-07-28.php#publicReview http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process-2010-07-28.php#committeeSpec [3] CS ballot http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ballot.php?id=1999
