Minutes

Attendance/Quorum

We have 3/4 eligible entities, and have a working quorum.

The Patent slides were offered for review.

No new claims were disclosed at the call for essential patent claims.

Agenda Approval

Motion by Dave G, seconded by Michael. Motion is approved.

Michael moved and Karlton seconded the approval of the February 2, 2009 minutes. The motion was approved.

Action Item Review

Steven reviewed the open action items.

Liaison Reports

IEEE CAG has requested a status update for their March 5-6 meeting, and Steven will be sending that today.

P1800 is going to ballot with a draft that includes our contributions for fixing the initial vector problem.

Recommended Algorithms

Requests have been made for benchmarking of AES-256 performance, and responses are still pending. Steven suggested proceeding unless there is an objection from implementors, with the understanding that subsequent evidence of hardship could merit re-visiting the decision.

License Management

Michael gave an overview of a socket-based communication protoccol for externally provided license management. The approach has similar characteristics to the dynamic call from shared library approach, though there is a potential weakness due to repeated use of a common encryption key.

Inter-operability Testing

Ruchi is just started investigating the set of issues around inter-operability and expects to be ready in a future meeting to begin discussing the topic in the working group.

Key Management Issues

Nitin is looking for feedback on the issues discussed so far, based on the current document. He believes that March 23 is the earliest reasonable opportunity to come back with an update for further discussion.

Michael asked about experience with acquiring certificates. Nobody had a response, and some further investigation should be done on the costs and requirements.

Other Business

Adjournment

Motion by Dave G, second by Dave C. Approved by acclamation at 10:44 pm CDT
