XKMS Last Call Issue 304 - key derivation Resolution

{Note this message is BCC'd to Carlisle Adams and Tim Moses in the hope of avoiding spam email address harvesting from the archive.)

Carlisle

Thank you for raising the possibility of using a standard key derivation function in XKMS
(the "aside" at the end of Issue 304 [1])

The key derivation algorithm is carried over from v1.0 of the specification and to the best of the working group's knowledge there is no substantive issue with it, apart from the fact that it is not one of the recently developed standards.  The work group discussed this point and believes it is appropriate not to make a change, maintaining compatibility with v1.0.

At this point the work group believes all concerns raised in issue #304 have been addressed and that the entire issue is closed, unless we hear otherwise. (see [2] for additional resolutions)

The XKMS WG would like to thank you for reviewing and commenting on the draft XKMS specification.

Regards, 
Frederick Hirsch on behalf of the XKMS WG
