I want to voice my concern about trying
to approve for inclusion into SSC-3 this proposal without first having
an approved method of establishing an SA in SPC-4. 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,

SSC-3: 06-225r2 now available (AES Key-wrap
for establishing an encryption key)
Hi All,
I just uploaded 06-225r2 to the T10 site.
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.
