Ad Hoc Team Updates

Alignment with SP 800-63
  • Richard Wilsher provided a join.me 
  • Work to date has been distributed to IAWG list
  • Has restructured 800-63-2 to make analysis easier
  • Kantara talks about Subscriber and Subjects - NIST does not differentiate: they only use Subscriber - check the glossary section
  • 5.3 6.3 7.3 8.3 9.3 have been mapped - has skipped overviews and tutorial sections
  • Has added sub-numbering to enable more specific discussion
  • 5.3 section: the way 800-63-2 treats different LOAs is a bit mixed. RGW has re-sorted them into sections by LOA
  • Has broken down distinct requirements even if they originally appeared in single statements
    • then mapped each to the existing KI IAF item
    • there is a Many:Many relationship
  • In the KI SAC - has inserted indexes back into the modified 800-63
    • Note that there are SAC criteria that do not have an equivalent 
  • Comment: for those extra items, they originally came from Good Practice - Kantara's aim is to determine if the organization is sound. NIST assumes that Government Agencies are sound and following GSA guidance
  • Comment: Some of the items that are not specifically 800-63 criteria might actually be Privacy criteria
    • To create a Privacy profile, just go through the SAC and annotate them
  • There are some puzzling items
    • e.g. 5.3.1.2.5 question about item c) - it reads as if the bullets apply to all LOAs - it is difficult to disentangle the statements - is this a change request to NIST? RGW needs feedback.
  • Red Text to indicate where there might be the opportunity to define a US Profile:
    • 800-63-2 becomes very specific - there may be other options that could meet the criteria. 
    • There might be options that work outside of the US. 
    • These might be criteria that could be less specific in the SAC and use the US profile to include the more prescriptive material
    • There are items that do not currently exist in the SAC - question is do they need to be added?
  • Requested comments by 20 June 2013
    • RGW will send out a formal request for comment with a formal comments form
  • Intent with this work is
    • Result will be a Kantara owned publication
    • The mapping document will remain publicly viewable
    • Will be provided to NIST as suggestions for updates
  • The Comments back to RGW should eventually be posted to the wiki to enable future understanding of rationale
  • Comment: once the work is done, should schedule a IAWG F2F in DC area to discuss the approach and documents to update NIST and seek feedback
AOB
  • No items
