KMIP 1.3 Status

KMIP 1.4 Status

• Anthony Berglas has done more work - not ready for presentation this week - do want to get it done for next weeks call

NIST SP800-57 Comments

• Chuck - NIST thanked for insights and said they will get back to him if they have any questions

NIST800-131 Update

• Bruce Rich noted that SKIPJACK is now out of vogue for encryption now and two key 3des will be disapproved for encryption by the end of this year.
• Both will still be okay for decryption but not for new encryption.
• SKFF has optional test cases which show usage for encryption, creating keys
• Is the suggestion to drop the encryption part or drop them entirely? Tim
• Tim and Bruce would like to just drop the optional test cases from the profile
• TC motion on this for next week. TC members are encouraged to review for next week
• Bruce notes there are other items in the document and it is relatively short; appendix C page 24 is summary with highlights and recommended TC member review for impact and further discussion

NIST 800-152 Update

• No BobL on call so deferred for next week.

Interop Status (Tony C.)

• Had first call this week. Logistics focused.
• Interop test calls are due to start - waiting on OASIS admin setting up separate technical mailing list.
• Once that is in place the technical interop calls will start. Will be in contact in the coming week or so.
• Anticipation aimed for interop testing around Jan - depending on the participants agreement and being able to get organised in time.
• Saikat - how many vendors - Tony - full 12 pods - probably 16 or so demos split between PKCS11 and KMIP.
• David F - question on can someone just do anything like KMIP 1.0 and have to make it work - Tony - objective is to make sure everything works - around defined test cases - must be test cases. Focus is always on newer versions of the spec otherwise we are not offering OASIS and booth visitors anything. Need to demonstrate active, vibrant interaction and development aimed at meeting current industry requirements.
• Bruce R - it should be noted that we are always demonstrating a version of the protocol that is not yet standard - good development of a standard that is open - in one sense proving that the spec is good enough - and number two showing that we are actually working together. Exact terms of interop are one of the first things that the interop team will hash out.
