Matt & all,

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.
 
Thanks!
