Call for Review: XML Signature 1.1, XML Encryption 1.1, XML Signature
Properties Proposed Recommendations Published
24 January 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9692
The XML Security Working Group has published three Proposed
Recommendations today:
http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/
* XML Signature Syntax and Processing Version 1.1. This
document specifies XML digital signature processing rules
and syntax. XML Signatures provide integrity, message
authentication, and/or signer authentication services for
data of any type, whether located within the XML that
includes the signature or elsewhere. Comments are welcome
through 25 February.
* XML Encryption Syntax and Processing Version 1.1. This
document specifies a process for encrypting data and
representing the result in XML. The data may be in a
variety of formats, including octet streams and other
unstructured data, or structured data formats such as XML
documents, an XML element, or XML element content. The
result of encrypting data is an XML Encryption element that
contains or references the cipher data. Comments are
welcome through 25 February.
* XML Signature Properties. This document outlines proposed
standard XML Signature Properties syntax and processing
rules and an associated namespace for these properties. The
intent is these can be composed with any version of XML
Signature using the XML SignatureProperties element. These
properties are intended to meet code signing requirements.
Comments are welcome through 25 February.
The group also published six Working Group Notes:
* Functional Explanation of Changes in XML Encryption 1.1
provides a summary of non-editorial changes in XML
Encryption 1.1 from the XML Encryption Recommendation.
* XML Security 1.1 Requirements and Design Considerations,
summarizes scenarios, design decisions, and requirements
for the XML Signature and Canonical XML specifications, to
guide ongoing W3C work to revise these specifications.
* XML Security Algorithm Cross-Reference, summarizes XML
Security algorithm URI identifiers and the specifications
associated with them.
* XML Security Generic Hybrid Ciphers, specifies an XML
syntax and processing rules for generic hybrid ciphers and
key encapsulation mechanisms and reserves identifiers for
algorithms.
* XML Security RELAX NG Schemas, provides non-normative RELAX
NG schemas in the compact syntax as well as the XML syntax.
* XML Signature Best Practices, collects best practices for
implementers and users of the XML Signature specification,
some of which to improve security and mitigate attacks.

Last Call: Touch Events version 1
24 January 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9690
The Web Events Working Group has published a Last Call Working
Draft of "Touch Events version 1." The Touch Events
specification defines a set of low-level events that represent
one or more points of contact with a touch-sensitive surface,
and changes of those points with respect to the surface and any
DOM elements displayed upon it (e.g. for touch screens) or
associated with it (e.g. for drawing tablets without displays).
It also addresses pen-tablet devices, such as drawing tablets,
with consideration toward stylus capabilities. Comments are
welcome through 14 February. Learn more about the Rich Web
Client Activity.

IndieUI: Events - New Work for Mobile and More
22 January 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9689
The IndieUI Working Group today published a First Public
Working Draft of "IndieUI: Events 1.0" - Events for User
Interface Independence. IndieUI defines a way for different
user interactions to be translated into simple events and
communicated to web applications. (For example, if a user wants
to scroll down a page, they might use their finger on a touch
screen, or click a scroll bar with a mouse, or use a scroll
wheel, or say 'scroll down' with a voice command. With IndieUI,
these are all sent to the web app as simply: scroll down.)
IndieUI will make it easier for web applications to work in a
wide range of contexts — different devices (such as mobile
phones and tablets), different assistive technologies (AT),
different user needs. With IndieUI, web application developers
will have a uniform way to design applications that work for
multiple devices and contexts. Comments on this Draft are
encouraged by 22 February 2013. Learn more from the IndieUI
Overview and the IndieUI: Events expands user interface
interactions blog post; read about the Web Accessibility
Initiative (WAI).

Today’s eBook market is dynamic, fast-changing and strong.
eBooks compete with printed versions, and there is a wide
choice of hardware and software available for eBook
readers. Nevertheless, publishers face major business and
technical challenges in this market, some of which could be
reduced or removed by standardization.
