It was just brought to my attention that Mark Watson has proposed a session for the Technical Plenary day in Sapporo that is related to our ACTION-93. ACTION-93: Get in touch with webappsec wg about the "privileged context" which is more generic than saying https, etc." https://www.w3.org/html/wg/media/track/actions/93 https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-media/2015Oct/0070.html Secure communication with local network devices https://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC2015/SessionIdeas#Secure_communication_with_local_network_devices * Proposer: Mark Watson * Leaders: Mark Watson * Summary: Pages loaded in a secure context may wish to communication with local network devices (for example devices discovered using DIAL<http://dial-multiscreen.org/>). Such devices may not have DNS names or long-lived certificates chained to a public CA to enable the use of standard PKI. How can we secure such communication such that the security promises of the "green padlock" are maintained. * Type: Brief presentation of the problem, open discussion * Goals: Establish the problem as one that W3C might work on, identify venue(s) for further discussion I want to encourage TF members to attend the Technical Plenary session (assuming it occurs) so that you are aware of the Technical Plenary day discussion. /paulc Paul Cotton, Microsoft Canada 17 Eleanor Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K2E 6A3 Tel: (425) 705-9596 Fax: (425) 936-7329
