I would like to bring to the attention of the group the discussion currently being held on the public-web-security mailing-list related to the rechartering of web crypto As Virginie presented during the face-to-face, the web crypto group is a possible host of the work on access to secure elements. However, for now as the mail shows below, there is not a huge interest among group members to proceed in that direction. However, the group is open if there are good use-cases and challenges identified. There is a window of opportunity to influence this form now till around end of january or so. So we may want to have a specific focus or a new task force looking specifically on use-cases related to this topic to provide input for the rechartering of web crypto Cheers steph -------- Message original -------- Sujet: [W3C Web Security IG] about Web Crypto rechartering discussion held during Web Crypto F2F meeting Date de renvoi : Thu, 06 Nov 2014 12:12:37 +0000 De (renvoi) : public-web-security@w3.org Date : Thu, 6 Nov 2014 12:12:07 +0000 De : GALINDO Virginie <Virginie.Galindo@gemalto.com> Pour : public-web-security@w3.org <public-web-security@w3.org> Copie à : Harry Halpin <hhalpin@w3.org>, Wendy Seltzer <wseltzer@w3.org> Dear all, A short take away from the W3C Web Crypto WG F2F meeting held last week [1], focusing on the aspects of re-chartering : -The actual re-chartering of the Web Crypto WG will not happen before the Web Crypto API is going to Recommendation status. At best, this should happen in January 2014. -The current Web Crypto WG participants would prefer to see anything related to accessing services of secure token being developed in a dedicated WG (except cryptographic services, for which it would make sense to do so in the Web Crypto WG) -There are best chances that the principle of working in W3C on accessing secure token is endorsed if there are some concrete proposal submitted to W3C, sketching what would a solution look like. -Note that from the W3C process point of view, a new Working Group can only be created if at least 20 % of W3C do support the charter (support does not mean join, but means that companies feels it is worth W3C to spend some resources on it). Hope this help people involved in that topic to define their next steps, to be successful.
