RE: [ggf-ogsa-sec-wg] New specs released: WS-SecurityPolicy, WS-Trust, WS-SecureConversation, WS-Policy, WS-PolicyAttachments, WS-PolicyAssertions

Yep, we need to internalize the concepts and extend them to the Grid
domain. I would like to see an abstraction layer incorporating these
concepts and a plug-in type extensible architecture so that we could
implement them in multiple ways. Would like to be part of the
discussions.

Cheers & happy holidays

Folks,

Six new specs have been released (today, I believe) that are related to
our OGSA SEC efforts. These are:

[1] WS-SecurityPolicy
[2] WS-Trust
[3] WS-SecureConversation
[4] WS-Policy
[5] WS-PolicyAttachments
[6] WS-PolicyAssertions.

The key, of course, is how we see these fitting into our efforts. 

Many of these documents are co-authored by multiple organizations (e.g.,
Microsoft, Verisign, IBM, RSA, etc.) See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/webservices/understanding/gxa/default.aspx for
the Microsoft links to these documents. 

We need to carefully read these (as a community) and evaluate them.
Something to do over the Holidays! :^)
