Hi Looking at http://www.w3.org/wiki/IdentityCharter#Web_Cryptography_Working_Group_Charter "The goal of this Working Group provide standards around key storage and cryptographic primitives that will provide capabilities that are currently difficult to do safely on the Web platform. " (+1 on the new name btw) How does this relate to the earlier XKMS work? http://www.w3.org/standards/techs/xkms#w3c_all e.g. http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/REC-xkms2-20050628/ Abstract: "This document specifies protocols for distributing and registering public keys, suitable for use in conjunction with the W3C Recommendations for XML Signature [XML-SIG] and XML Encryption [XML-Enc]. The XML Key Management Specification (XKMS) comprises two parts — the XML Key Information Service Specification (X-KISS) and the XML Key Registration Service Specification (X-KRSS)." It seems the latter emphasises protocols (and hence leans more towards SOAP/WSDL than APIs), while the former emphasises in-browser APIs, but they share a concern for key storage and management? Are there any pieces of work that can be shared across these use cases? cheers, DanReceived on Wednesday, 2 November 2011 08:18:36 GMT
