It seems bad to approve something that relies on a nonexistent method. I know that David Black is working on his proposal 06-103 SSC-3: Encrypt keys for transfer to device as well as possibly taking some of the original parts of 06-225r1 and targeting them for SPC-4. However, this has barely started and nothing in SPC-4 provides a method to establish an SA yet. The result of this, I believe, is that SSC-3 will be held out of letter ballot until a method to establish an SA is included into SPC-4 and SPC-4 passes letter ballot. Dave, Please add a discussion of this email to the agenda for the next SSC-3 meeting (i.e. June 21 Telecon). Thanks, Kevin D. Butt SCSI & Fibre Channel Architect, Tape Firmware MS 6TYA, 9000 S.

Please forward this document to any cryptography people in your organization. If possible, I'd like to vote on including this proposal into SSC-3 at the next SSC-3 teleconference on June 21st. If nothing else, we should be able to include the changes from clause 8. Thanks! -Matt
