103 - Blair point about private key processing [see also my point on private key encryption] Added Blair's text and the following security consideration: Implementations MUST ensure that in cases where a private key is generated by the service, the information used to encrypt the private key data is adequately protected. In particular if an authentication pass phrase exchanged out of band is used to encrypt the private key the implementation MUST ensure that the out of band communication mechanism adequately protects the confidentiality of the pass phrase. It is recommended that implementations make use of TLS or an in-band key exchange mechanism to protect the private key in the case that the authentication pass phrase is disclosed. New issue 125 - add in an element of abstract type to the relevant operations (Register, Recover) that may be used as a derrivation point for a key exchange such as XKASS?
