4) XML Signature Draft - confirm status of previous discussion items

4a) XML escaping

Angle brackets, ampersand, can cause XML to be ill-formed.

Konrad: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/ 
2007May/0041.html

Thomas: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/ 
2007May/0048.html

Proposed Resolution: Agree to close this issue with no change?

4b) encoding leading space, forgotten? Or remove requirement to  
escape trailing space?

Konrad: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/ 
2007Jun/0004.html

Need to add to bullet list in section 4.4.4. (see agenda item 7a)?

or get rid of item for trailing space, which should be insignificant?
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/2007Jun/ 
0051.html Konrad

Proposed Resolution: Agree to defer to subsequent work on Signature?

4c) Add warning?

warning similar to that of section 7.2 of RFC 2253: http:// 
www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2253.txt
Sean: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/ 
2007Jun/0015.html

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/2007Jun/ 
0024.html

Proposed resolution: Record as best practice item in wiki?

4d) Reversibility of string to DER/BER encoding not guaranteed

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/2007Jun/ 
0021.html , Juan Carlos

Issue of reversibility

section 5.2 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4514

and proposed approach:
"state a repertoire of attribute short names that all applications  
must know and then strongly
recommend to use the form "dotted oid of the attribute = hex  
representation of the BER/DER encoding of the value" for the rest of  
not so well-known or even privately defined attributes"

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/2007Jun/ 
0049.html , Ed Simon
"I agree that XMLSig DName encoding rules should address the last  
paragraph of Section 5.2 in RFC 4514:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4514"

Second point about removing KeyInfo material from DSig out of scope  
for charter and for roadmap?
Update wiki?

Ask IETF for DName canonicalization, drop issue?
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/2007Jun/ 
0052.html , Konrad

Proposed Resolution: Record as issue for next version of Signature  
and/or add note to best practice wiki

5) XML Signature: ds:Reference type as URI versus ds:Object Mime Type
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/2007Jun/ 
0000.html , Juan-Carlos

see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/2007Jul/ 
0005.html

6)  Interop Test Cases

6a) Please review draft from Juan Carlos and send comments/discussion  
to public email list:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xmlsec-maintwg/2007Jul/ 
0001.html

6b) test defined in new C14N11 example (as updated)
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2007/05/CR-xml-c14n11-20070509

6c) Tests for Errata
Agreed at F2F that no tests needed for E02-E05
Test for E01?

6d)  Additional tests discussed at F2F
-  test case for 1.0 as default see if 1.1 by mistake
- test case which checks for correct sig when xml:base is present
- test case which checks for correct sig when xml:id is present
- generate sig over doc subset, must include c14n11 as  final transform
- new generators not rely on default c14n
- conversion NodeSetData to OctetStreamData:
- Generate a signature having a reference with some xpath transform  
selecting NodeSetData
then we add a XSLT transform that clearly needs OctetStreamData.  
Check on verification: if the resulting signature actually made the  
use of c14n 1.1 explicit in the chain of transforms

7) C14N11 - Appendix A

Konrad had pointed out some issues with Appendix A at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007May/0046
