Liaison Reports

Steven reported on discussion in P1800/sv-cc regarding visibility concerns.

John reported that P1076 is electing officers and that Jarek has volunteered to capture requirements from P1735 discussions for consideration in P1076.

Inter-operability

John suggested an extension to the Digital Envelope use model requested by customers, where an additional per-user control supplements the tool-based key scheme. The group discussion preferred license management approaches over key management to resolve this requirement. The option to require a license to decrypt provides an additional obstacle to IP disclosure, and is a mechanism that hasn't been discussed.

Another open question on this extension is how licensing relates to the rights management semantics. Steven noted that License Management could be viewed as an additional gate to control behavior authorized by Rights Management, augmenting the Design Activity, and Data State that have been discussed under the Rights Management framework. The existing licensing pragmas are expected by a number of group members to be deprecated, though revisiting the decryption licensing controls complicates a decision to abandon that syntax.

Dave G and Michael agreed to work together on a proposal to integrate license management and rights management. John will propose language to extend the use model.
