4. AIs & progress update on current work-items:

 (a) Current electronic ballots: (none)

 (b) Status/notes regarding past ballots: (none)

 (c) Session Token Profile (Hal)
     - Status: Published as CS

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-
services/201112/msg00014.html

[Ari Kermaier] Hal: We can take that off the agenda, as status is on hold waiting for implementations.

 (d) Attribute Predicate Profile (Gregory/Franz-Stefan)
     - Status: Published as CS.

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-
services/201112/msg00013.html

[Ari Kermaier] AI: Ask Thomas to provisionally remove this from agenda.

 (e) Kerberos Web browser SSO Profile (Josh/Thomas)
     - Status: CSD and 15-day PR closed.
     - No comments received during 15-day PR.
     - AI: Request ballot creation for CS.

[Ari Kermaier] No comments received during PR. Thomas sent official email to that effect to the list. Next AI: Thomas to request new ballot for move to CS status.

 (f) Metadata Extensions for Documentation/Registration (Chad)
     - Status:  sstc-saml-metadata-rpi-v1.0-wd09.zip uploaded

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-
services/201112/msg00016.html

[Ari Kermaier] Chad: Two months ago, comments received and addressed, current WD includes all that. Motion to move WD09 to CSD2 and open 15 day public review. Mandy seconds. No objections; motion passes. No additional discussion.


 (g) Metadata Extensions for Login and Discovery User (MDUI) (Scott)
     - Status: WD10 uploaded.
     - AI: Request a vote to CD and 15 day PR at the next meeting.

[Ari Kermaier] Scott: All comments addressed in current draft. Motion to move WD10 to CSD3 and open 15 day PR. Chad seconds. No objections; motion passes. No additional discussion.

 (h) SAML2.0 Approved Errata
      - SECURITY-16 PE: Mitigation for XML Encryption CBC deficiencies
[Ari Kermaier] Discussed on prior calls. Scott has proposed text to address section 6.2 in CORE, plus specific profile guidance. Scott also reviewed Security Consideration document, and will probably suggest improved text. In the meantime added new section as placeholder for these concerns, and summarized attack and CBC deficiencies. Scott thinks we need similar changes from XML Signature wrapping attack. Recent TLS attacks should have some further treatment as well, via Errata or republishing of the document. Scott sent a note to the chairs asking to add something to JIRA to track these SecConsider items. Added text to SHOULD items calling out non-repudiation aspects of signed-and-encrypted assertions. Hal notes we should discuss the issue that integrity protection over ciphertext only works if you know that the message is not from an attacker, because it's bound to the encryption key, which we assume comes from a tractably small universe of know legitimate IDP keys. Discussion between Hal and Scott follows about the existing normative text about "authenticated signature", which means trusted key-name binding, but does not imply that the encrypter of the data is the signer of the data. Scott agrees to add a paragraph that clarifies the limited ability to verify this type of integrity protection. Scott has proposed text to be sent. John B., Hal and Scott discuss possible remediation of vulnerability via HMAC over ciphertext with key derivation from asymmetric key. Scott moves to accept text as currently in the JIRA entry; John seconds; no objections, PE accepted for inclusion in next Approved Errata. Scott would like to publish Approved Errata before vulnerability paper is published.
Scott calls for expert contributors to TLS security section; no takers.

 (i) SAML 2.0.1 and Security Considerations doc
     - Plans for 2012?

[Ari Kermaier] Hefty pile of errata accrued over the years, may be difficult for new implementers to reconcile various texts and errata, so as to properly reflect errata in total. Do not want to break wire compatibility. Security Considerations is thinner than Scott hoped, and needs updates. A new 2.0.1 release would be a benefit to implementers, but Hal notes that it may generate more work than anticipated, if for no other reason than the various new templates, process rules, etc. required now vs. 2005. Scott doesn't think that would not be so much work, but objects to the use of HTML as the reference format vs. PDF. Conformance sections will be the most difficult aspect. General discussion as to whether it's a good idea to add requirements; Nate and Scott agree that security enhancements and legibility of the specs should trump considerations of actual compliance among implementers, and it's worth taking up the SSTC's time in 2012.


5. Assorted mail items:
  - Privacy Preserving Attribute Verification (Prateek)
[Ari Kermaier] Hal isn't ready to discuss on this call, but wants to leave it on the agenda for next call.

6. Other items:
[Ari Kermaier] No other business.

7. Next SSTC Call:
  - Tue 24 January 2012.

[Ari Kermaier] Meeting adjourned.
