---++++ Key Management
Nitin reviewed his proposals for certificate based key management. Bin asked about security of IP if the public key was widely available. After discussion, we noted that the purpose of the certificate exchange was to enable encryption for other tools, and was not intended to directly support IP decryption.

Syed indicated that IBIS (I/O Buffer Information Specification) is interested in clearer descriptions of the flow, possibly including diagrams.  P1735 intends to improve on what is currently available, and we also expect that vendors will provide additional documentation beyond what is provided in the standards world.  IBIS is using VHDL/AMS and Verilog/AMS for modeling and is relying on those standards to support encryption.

Nitin asked if there were any further concerns about the current proposal, or any open issues that needed closure.  John asked about possible conflicts between X.509 and our specifications.  Nitin indicated that we can avoid conflict by adopting a convention that the values of our pragmas conform to the requirements of X.509.

John asked about data management for certificate retrieval, and possible software components that could provide those services.  OpenSSL may provide such services in the open-source world, but some additional research is needed.

John asked about conventions for naming and versioning of keys.  We also need to understand what impact expiration and revocation would have on our use models. Dave G noted that key compromise was not the only threat, and that a more common concern was cracking the application itself.
