---++++ License Management



---++++ Key Management
Dave G updated the Security Threat issues to include key weakness concerns.  Bin Dai provided a reference to recommendations from NIST covering minimum key lengths necessary for adequate security.

John and Dave G discussed the reality that key strength can be bypassed with weaknesses elsewhere in the cryptosystem.  John suggested that recommendations to IP Providers would be appropriate to guide them in performing due diligence on the security of tools they choose to allow access to their IP.

John identified two audiences for recommendations on security risks. The first would be IP providers, and a discussion on the reflector would be helpful in crafting such text.  The second audience are the tool providers, who could use some guidance on best practices for building secure applications.
