Inter-operability Testing

Ruchi reported on investigations on interoperability for X.509 based key exchange. Nitin sent the initial report to the ip-encrypt reflector on May 4. The three major areas of concern that have been identified to date include:

1. Key encoding scheme (BER, DER, PEM)
2. Cipher-block padding scheme
3. Certificate format

Ruchi plans to continue working this issue and will bring back proposals for the specific issues as they are clarified. Working group members should familiarize themselves with the basic areas of concern using Nitin's e-mail as an overview.

License Management

Michael reported back on his updates to the License Management working document. He is focusing on the socket-based approach, based on the previous discussions in the working group. Steven asked about the new identifier included in the license pragma. Michael indicated that it was to specify the secure server which validates the specified license.

Michael listed the following items as prerequisites for getting to a reference implementation.

• license pragma definition
• define request/response protocol for license manager

Key Management

Nitin is continuing to work with Ruchi on resolving inter-operability issues as they apply to certificate based key management.
