Action Item Review

Steven reviewed the open action items.

Liaison Reports

Steven reminded the group about the open ballot period for P1800 and encouraged P1735 members who were also members of P1800 to review the protected envelope changes and get their feedback to their P1800 representatives.

Steven asked for feedback on IP protection issues from the recent DVCon conference. No conference attendees were on the call.

Recommended Algorithms

The Recommendations page has been updated to include AES-256, and approval of those changes is scheduled for the next meeting.

License Management

Michael wanted to clarify his comments from last meeting about the security of using symmetric keys for the socket based approach. He is not aware of any known attacks for AES that are relevant to this particular model. The socket based scheme is similar to the technique used by FlexLM to secure their client side communication with the server.

Michael is looking for some guidance on which direction we should commit to.

Inter-operability Testing

The group reviewed John's e-mail contribution and will discuss it further at the next meeting.
