Dear XML Security WG, Today we informed the W3C Membership about the PAG's report. The relevant excerpts are below. Ian Jacobs Begin forwarded message: > Dear Advisory Committee Representative, > > The XML Security Patent Advisory Group (PAG) [1] has published a report > recommending that W3C continue work on XML Security Specifications: > http://www.w3.org/2011/xmlsec-pag/pagreport > > The PAG's primary conclusions are: > > 1) Work on XML Encryption Syntax and Processing Version 1.1 should continue > without changes. > 2) For the avoidance of doubt and in order to be helpful to implementers, the PAG > recommends the inclusion of wording in XML Signature Syntax and Processing Version 1.1, > and in XML Signature 2.0 allowing the use of alternative algorithms that are still interoperable. > > Assuming adoption of these recommendations, the PAG concludes that the > initial concern has been resolved, enabling the Working Group to continue. There is > more detail and background in the PAG report [.] > > [1] http://www.w3.org/2011/xmlsec-pag/ -- Ian Jacobs (ij@w3.org) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs/ Tel: +1 718 260 9447
