The XML Security WG is asking WebApps WG for review of the XML Signature 1.1 and Signature Properties Last Call drafts. Though the formal deadline is March 18, we would prefer comments in February if possible. Some more information: * Signature 1.1 draft: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core1/ * changes from 1.0 (2nd Edition) http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core1/explain.html Changes are focused on the set of mandatory to implement algorithms and markup for relevant key material. * Signature Properties : http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-xmldsig-properties-20100204/ As Art noted below, there are other related documents that have been updated. The full list is at the XMLSec publication page http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/wiki/PublicationStatus I should also point out that the Canonical XML 2.0 and XML Signature 2.0 drafts in progress might be of interest to members of this group, since they are to address goals to improve performance, usability, streamability and reduced attack surface. These are works in progress: * 2.0 Requirements: http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/xmlsec-reqs2/Overview.html * Canonical XML 2.0: http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/c14n-20/ * XML Signature 2.0: http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/xmldsig-core-20/ regards, Frederick Frederick Hirsch, Nokia Chair XML Security WG On Feb 10, 2010, at 6:48 AM, Barstow Art (Nokia-CIC/Boston) wrote: > Last week the XML Security WG published LCWDs of two specs the Widget > Digital Signature CR [Widget-DigSig] references: > > XML Signature Properties > http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-xmldsig-properties-20100204/ > > XML Signature Syntax and Processing Version 1.1 > http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-xmldsig-core1-20100204/ > > The comment deadline is March 18.
