Re: [xacml] Re: EIC 2012 - representing the XACML TC
I can tell that David did a good job presenting xacml.  I was
    present there.

    Dear all,

      

      Just to give you a bit of feedback on the OASIS EIC workshop. I
      won't be on today's call due to prior commitments.

      

      The workshop went really well with a good intro by John Sabo of CA
      and Mike Small of Kuppinger Cole and then contributions from
      various TCs including OASIS's Identity in the Cloud TC, the
      Privacy Management Reference Model (PMRM) TC, and the XACML TC.

      

      In the slides I presented, I chose to introduce 3 possible ways
      authorization in the cloud could be tackled. I've attached the
      slides for your benefit.

      

      I think attendees were excited by the possibility of using context
      in authorization as well as having a single centralized point of
      management.

      

      Please find the slides attached.

      

      Cheers,

      David.

        Dear all,

          

          As Rich pointed out, I volunteered to represent the TC at EIC
          in Munich in a fortnight. If there is particular work items
          you would like to put forward, please do let me know. If there
          are upcoming XACML events you want me to mention, please do
          tell me as well.

          

          Kind regards,

          David.

                XACML Core v3.0 WD-23 uploaded: still open issue as to
              what the

                 baseline for this rev is: i.e. did not seem to match w
              wd22.

                 See mtg minutes for more detail:

                  http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201203/msg00014.html

                 original wd-23 notice:

                  http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201203/msg00007.html

              

                     ready to vote to CSD wd23? (hal)

                     Recent diffs make it difficult to review changes,

                      need to discuss changes in identity wording (rich)

                     Typography issues need to be fixed prior to CSD?

                      (eric, ray fine without font changes)

                     Move to take wd23 to CSD (eric) seconded (ray)

                     Do cross references need to be updated now?

                       How did we do it last time?

                     Defer vote for CSD to next call to allow time to
              research,

                      address cross references

                     Urge everyone to review docs,

                      be prepared for CSD vote on next call

              

              

                New item (rich): off list request rcvd from Oded Sofer
              of IBM

                 asking when XACML 3.0 expected to be released:

              

                  hal: indicated that while ind members may express
              their

                     opinions on projected dates, it is the TC process
              itself,

                     and the TC, as a whole, that determines the actual

                     schedule.

              

                  interested parties may refer to the OASIS Technical
              Committee

                     Approval Process to provide a basis for
              understanding where

                     in the process a specific spec is, and what remains
              for

                     its final approval:

                       http://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#standApprovProcess

              

                  also noted: do existing attestions need to reattest in
              light of

                      recent edits to spec? (rich, hal) - we will
              revisit this

                      as we move along in the process - no issues
              expected, but

                      it may be prudent to reissue the attestations
              referring to

                      the specific version being referred to.

              

              III. Issues

                XACML Media Types (last mtg members asked to review the
              comments)

                (Comment: Erik)

                http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201203/msg00008.html

              

                     Ray to update document for next call

                     (john) no way to exchange request (collection of
              attributes)

                      without a compete decision request around it

                     How does PDP get all xacml attributes from, say,
              PIP?

                     (hal) Note recent proposal in SAML TC.

                     (john) could suffice, but can that handle
              non-subject attributes?

                     (john) Among the collection of media types defined,

                      there appears to be a gap

                     (hal) can be extended later

                     (ray) media types we have so far should be enough
              for

                      the REST profile

                Issue #3:  Combining Algorithm

                 general consensus is to create a separate Profile; erik
              to author

              

                  Eric posted a proposal for this comb alg as a separate
              profile.

                   Needs review.
