Dave G moved and John seconded the approval of the October 15, 2012 minutes. The motion was approved.

Action Item Review

Steven reviewed the open action items.

Liaison Reports

John reported no encryption activity in P1076 in the past two weeks.

Steven reported on invoicing activity, and recommended that entities budget for half of the 2012 assessment in 2013...

Inter-operability

No discussion.

License Management

No discussion.

Key Management

John commented on ambiguity regarding what constitutes a unique key. Which of the pragmas are required to uniquely distinguish a key? Is key_method a legitimate discriminator, or does that constitute a semantic error. This needs to be considered in the context of X.509 certificates and the encryption method requirements that flow from there.

John noted that we need to reconcile the Key Management recommendations with our agreed use case. The out-of-band exchange concepts need to be tied to when you would apply those exchange methods with respect to our use-cases.

Rights Management

Dave G reviewed recent discussions on calculating digests over the cleartext common block. License management issues have languished while the digest issues have been discussed.

Common Rights and Visibility

No discussion.
