As a heads-up, the W3C XML Security Working Group is planning to take its XML Signature 1.1 and XML Encryption 1.1 specifications to W3C Last Call within the next few weeks. Main changes against XML Signature 1.0 and XML Encryption 1.0 relate to including support for Suite B algorithms (including mark-up for key material). The group is wrapping up discussions about making these algorithms mandatory to implement in the Last Call Working Draft; however, that would be up for further investigation and possibly subject to change as the specs move further along the W3C recommendation track. Review of the editor's drafts would be welcome: http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/xmldsig-core-11/ http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/xmlenc-core-11/ We'll send a formal review request through the W3C/IETF liaison channel once the Last Call Working Drafts are out. On a related note, the Working Group recently published a First Public Working Draft of XML Security Generic Hybrid Ciphers. That specification, too would benefit from early review: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlsec-generic-hybrid/ If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Frederick Hirsch (WG chair; copied on this note) or myself. Unfortunately, neither of us will be able to travel to Hiroshima. Regards, -- Thomas Roessler, W3C <tlr@w3.org>
