Implementation of this algorithm is encouraged since it can become mandatory in a subsequent release of this specification, and this may become necessary if a security issue is discovered with the currently required algorithm. regards, Frederick Frederick Hirsch Nokia On Apr 24, 2009, at 5:20 AM, ext Priestley, Mark, VF-Group wrote: > > "I would like to see some text cautioning authors not to rely on > this algorithm, since it is optional in user agents." > > Agreed - in fact I think a general statement about use of optional > algorithms would be beneficial > > > -----Original Message----- > From: public-webapps-request@w3.org [mailto:public-webapps-request@w3.org > ] On Behalf Of Marcos Caceres > Sent: 24 April 2009 09:46 > To: Frederick Hirsch > Cc: Web Applications Working Group WG > Subject: Re: [widget-digsig] Updated Widget Signature editors draft > > Hi Frederick, > Thanks for updating the spec! comment below. > > On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 3:14 AM, Frederick Hirsch <frederick.hirsch@nokia.com > > wrote: >> I have updated the Widget Signature draft to reflect decisions on >> today's call, as follows: >> >> Added ECDSAwithSHA256 as SHOULD signature algorithm > > I would like to see some text cautioning authors not to rely on this > algorithm, since it is optional in user agents. > >> Removed editor notes re feedback on signature algorithms Removed >> editor note with Signature Properties reference, since we've removed >> section 9 Added FIPS-186-3 reference >> >> http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-digsig/ >> >> Note that we will need to update the Signature Properties reference, >> when that specification is published with this specification. >> >> regards, Frederick >> >> Frederick Hirsch >> Nokia >> >> >> >> >> > > > > -- > Marcos Caceres > http://datadriven.com.au >
