Title: RE: reminder: OASIS Security Services TC
>>1) what if any standard you
will be basing this work on?<<
The OASIS TC was
originally started by Netegrity and its
partners, who created (co-authored) the
S2ML specification (www.s2ml.org) Many people have already
registered, some with substantial
contributions that will be discussed in the TC, together with
S2ML.
>> 2) how will this
work be different than the W3C XML security work scheduled to start after the
first of the year?<<
I'm not familiar with what the W3C XML
security work is about. The OASIS TC is the place where authentication and
authorization issues will be discussed, with possible extensions to other
security domains. One of the goals is to be able to interface with other
standards and protocols (SOAP, ebXML, and soon languages such as HKMS,
etc.)
>>3) Why is OASIS starting an XML based security TC when
the OASIS sponsored ebXML initiative is already developing a security
specification?<<
ebXML
and the OASIS XML-based security TC are complementary. Indeed, the standard that
we are working toward in the TC will include a binding to ebXML. Also, ebXML
co-creators are registered in our TC, in particular to work on binding
issues.

Karl and Marc,
To help
me decide on having my security expert participate in this TC, could you
please explain:
1)
what if any
standard you will be basing this work on?
2) how
will this work be different than the W3C XML security work scheduled to start
after the first of the year?
3) Why
is OASIS starting an XML based security TC when the OASIS sponsored ebXML
initiative is already developing a security specification?
Thanks,
Mark
