Current status of pre-Last Call bugs

All,

We had 15 bugs that were identified as needing to be resolved before Last
Call. The following is a status update since my last mail on these sent
before the last meeting. I've omitted those that were resolved at the time
of the last update.


*Bug 20611* <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=20611> -
Specify the text encoding for JWK key format


OPEN - I propose we specify UTF-8, following the JWK specification, unless
anyone objects.


*Bug 22570* <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22570> -

*Bug 23831* <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23831> - add
HMAC-SHA1 to the list of recommended algorithms


RESOLVED FIXED: HMAC-SHA1 added to list of recommended algorithms as agreed
on 1/27


*Bug 23445* <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23445> - typo
with BigInteger?


RESOLVED FIXED: according to 1/27 discussion


*Bug 23500* <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23500> - Raw
AES access?


OPEN - list discussion:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webcrypto/2014Jan/0029.html


*Bug 23729* <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23729> - Key
usages future compatibility


RESOLVED FIXED: switch to DOMStrings according to 24415


*Bug 23503* <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23503> - Should
algorithms (ECC in particular) be extensible?


RESOLVED FIXED: switch to DOMStrings according to 24415


*Bug 23495* <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23495> - Should
an informative note mention that entropy is expected? (and an error defined
?)


RESOLVED WORKSFORME.


There are in addition the following new bugs. We need to decide which of
these should be addressed before Last Call:


*Bug 24450 <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24450>* - JWK
mapping should say what to do with keys that are invalid per JWK spec


OPEN


*Bug 24489 <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24489>* - Correct
the mapping of JOSE key_ops to WebCrypto KeyUsage


RESOLVED DUPLICATE (24441)


*Bug 24457 <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24457>* - AES-KW
can only wrap a JWK key if its serialization happens to be 8*n bytes long


OPEN - needs discussion


*Bug 24444 <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24444>* - Named
Curve Registry (adding secp256k1)


OPEN - needs discussion


*Bug 24441 <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24441> *- Typos
in usages to JWK mapping description


OPEN - typos fixed, waiting for JOSE to align key_ops names with WebCrypto


*Bug **24410* <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24410> - Define
operation procedures for each algorithm


OPEN


*Bug **24427* <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24427> - Make
all method failures asynchronous


OPEN: needs discussion - one positive comment - waiting for other input


*Bug **24415* <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24415> - Replace
enums with DOMStrings


RESOLVED FIXED
