No new claims were disclosed at the call for essential patent claims.

Agenda Approval

Motion by Jarek, seconded by Dave G. Motion is approved.

Previous Minutes

Dave G moved and Jarek seconded the approval of the April 2, 2011 minutes. The motion was approved.

Action Item Review

Steven reviewed the open action items.

Liaison Reports

Joe Daniels reported to be waiting for counter-signed contracts from IEEE Professional Services.

Inter-operability

Jarek reported no additional activity since the last meeting.

License Management

Dave G presented an initial presentation on a licensing proxy model. John commented that there is a semantic model regarding when the license is checked, and details on that are needed to understand the implementation overhead.

Steven asked about the representation of public keys for the proxy, whether X.509 certificates or named keys should be supported. Dave noted that he had concerns about hurdles for new participants and we need to discuss that in more detail in a future meeting.

Dave will post the presentation slides to the private working group area.

Key Management

Dave G introduced an offline/off-reflector discussion regarding best practices for re-use of session keys.

John explained that his understanding was that the session of the encryption tool controlled the selection of a session key. The requirement for transformative tools to encrypt using the session key of the original design is acceptable given the requirement for those tools to not regenerate key blocks. The keys for licensing proxies should however be different from those used to protect the data blocks.

Jarek expressed the concern that re-use of the symmetric key would endanger the security of the assymetric key-pairs. He acknowledged that reuse of the session key with bit-wise copies of the key block reduced the risk of that exposure, and that we should document these best practices in our recommendations.

Steven and John discussed the value of using random IV for each data block, digest, control block or other use of a shared session key.

Rights Management

No incremental discussion at this meeting. Dave G and Parminder are developing revisions aligned with John's balloting comments.
