[17]http://www.w3.org/2006/WSC/wiki/RecommendationDisplayProposals/RecoTempl

   <tlr> RecRevisitingPastDecisions

   <tlr>
   [18]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wsc-wg/2007May/0023.html

   <rachna> I have a question about the template content.

   rachna: should template include attacks?

   tyler: need list of attacks

   rachna: have a list of attacks in mind

   tlr: updated threath tree

   rachna: will put list on wiki

   <ses> (I wouldn't be so sure that all threats in Rachna's mind are on the
   tree. The tree definitely has missing branches)

   <tlr> [19]http://www.w3.org/2006/WSC/wiki/ThreatTrees

   rachna: example threat is spoofing

   <bill-d> yes

   bill-d: we have an info-sec group internally

   <tlr> ACTION: doyle to solicit commentary on Thread Trees from MITRE INFOSEC
   community - due 2007-06-15 [recorded in
   [20]http://www.w3.org/2007/05/16-wsc-minutes.html#action01]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-214 - solicit commentary on Thread Trees from
   MITRE INFOSEC community [on Bill Doyle - due 2007-06-15].

   <tlr> due date on ACTION-214 tentative; action dependent on ACTION-215

   <tlr>  ACTION: rdhamija2 to revisit threat trees, match to her list of
   attacks,   make   explicit,  turn  into  note  material  [recorded  in
   [21]http://www.w3.org/2007/05/16-wsc-minutes.html#action03]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-215 - to revisit threat trees, match to her list
   of attacks, make explicit, turn into note material [on Rachna Dhamija - due
   2007-05-23].

   tlr: what do tyler think about adding attacks

   tyler: will not hurt

   <tlr>  proposed:  use cases and attacks that are addressed go into the
   template; attacks not addressed listed as limitations

   <tlr>  ACTION:  tyler  to  update  template  accordingly  [recorded in
   [22]http://www.w3.org/2007/05/16-wsc-minutes.html#action04]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-216 - Update template accordingly [on Tyler Close
   - due 2007-05-23].

   tlr: uncertain about timeline moving all recommendations into template

   tyler: completion will probably be delayed
   ... will look at yngve's submission

   <tlr>  agendum  for  next  meeting:  check in on status of editing for
   recommendation

   <rachna> can you explain what conformance clause means? Sorry I missed it.

   <tlr> tlr: conformance clause is the thing that you comply with or not

   <tlr> ... abstract away from concrete user interfaces ...

   <tlr> ... augment with implementation techniques ...

   <tlr> phb: haven't given lightning talk on Secure Letterhead, yet, might
   have been confused with EV

   <tlr> tlr: phb, please put it into the Wiki under "to be discussed"

   <tlr> ACTION: hallam-baker to enter Secure Letterhead proposal into Wiki;
   link from "to be discussed" [recorded in

Face-to-face planning

   tlr: f2f in two weeks

   <tlr>
   [25]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wsc-wg/2007May/0050.html

   tlr: planned discussion about QA, testing etc.
   ... what are our remaining steps about notes
   ... missing agenda: how are we going to update note

   <tlr> deadline for update of note is 2 June

   tyler: lots of w3c process that must be discussed

   tlr: may do updated draft without approval
   ... what should be discussed before f2f, and what can be discussed at f2f?

   tyler : should check own action items [scribe's understanding: all members]

   <sduffy> tyler, I will be available to help close those out as soon as you
   and I catch up offline

   scribe: may put what is declared as having concesus into draft

   <tlr> agendum for next call: updated working draft of Note, to be done
   before 2 June

   scribe: suggest roll call of open actions items against draft next phone
   meeting

   <tlr> tyler will lead agendum 11 (note issues discussion) at face-to-face

   tlr: no further comments about f2f agenda

   <asaldhan> tlr: f2f can be attended by phone?

   tlr: f2f can be attended by phone

IdentitySignal [26]http://www.w3.org/2006/WSC/wiki/IdentitySignal

   johnath: broken padock
   ... padlock mixes signals, used to deduce trust [even if it is not designed
   for it]
   ... MS moving to green bar
   ... need an indicator in primary UI for verifiable identity
   ... safety is slippery concept
   ... can't [really] tell if it is safe to shop even with EV

   tlr: coming close to discussion about selfsigned certs
   ... problem with second guessing what the user wants

   hal: must view in context of other proposals

   audian: [identity indicator] have more tech integrity than padlock
   ... bigger question: does it mean safe to shop?

   audian: better than padlock

   sduffy: consumer assumes padlock anywhere means its OK

   ?:user do not think about difference between chrome and content

   <asaldhan> I support this signal because it is a functionality of an user
   agent and not some web page.

   <rachna> An illegitimate site may copy Larry into the content. Users will
   have to recognize two Larry's and know about the new ritual to click on the
   right one in the address bar. This is something we can test.

   <asaldhan> provided the security verification service is somebody credible

   bill-d: padlock bundles lots of things
   ... perhaps break things out of padlock?

   <tlr> Larry = the guy checking the passport

   johnath: breaking the padlock apart may separate questions about identity,
   safe to shop, etc...

   <johnath> johnath: we resist this being a new padlock, because it's not
   about  safety.  Spoofing is always a concern, but spoofing an identity
   indicator is less valuable because on a legit site, they don't need to, and
   a scam site will not benefit as much since there is always an identity
   indicator present, unlike the padlock

   tlr: is there a notion about type of interactions to get information
   ... e.g trust ratings
   ... should be part of a proposal

   <johnath> blame the time overrun on my voip issues

   audian: like ev cert, but chrome can be spoofed

   <rachna> I agree with Audian. Picture in Picture attacks are hard for users
   to detect. Trust indicators whether they be identity or security indicators
   lend credibility and will always be spoofed. The only improvement here may
   be if users learn the new ritual.

   johnath: mozilla moving padock, ev might impede some phishing
   ... green bar not competing with anything in chrome

   johnath: identtiy instead of safety will [missed that]

   <tlr> ACTION: nightingale to update IdentitySignal to cover discussion on
   call, and match RecTemplate [recorded in
   [27]http://www.w3.org/2007/05/16-wsc-minutes.html#action08]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-219 - to update IdentitySignal to cover discussion
   on call, and match RecTemplate [on Johnathan Nightingale - due 2007-05-23].

Following up on DNSSEC indicator discussion
[28]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-wsc-wg/2007Apr/0354.html

   <tlr> deferred due to lack of critical parties

Rachna's proposal, if any (ACTION-213)

   <rachna> I will need to be bumped as well

   <tlr> tlr: bumped to when?

   <rachna> sorry. next week is fine

RobustSecurityIndicators
[29]http://www.w3.org/2006/WSC/wiki/RobustSecurityIndicators

   <tlr> to be done when MEZ is here

Secure Letterhead

   <tlr> to be done next week or later

   tlr: meeting adjourned
