Still no news from ENISA on the 1st draft.  Keith to distribute draft chapter on ETSI MSS by email to the group participants after the call.

ULX WG AND ISA - TELCO RELEVANCE:

Philippe:

Before the ISA (Identity Selector) group merged with the ULX, ISA group had clear goals for a desired outcome. So far only the graphical aspect has been addressed to date. The protocol discussion and question of metadata has not been fully addressed. The ISA in the network vs ISA in the device discussion has not been achieved.

Philippe presents the question that does the concept of a pure Telco ISA make sense?

Authentication means are more simple than social login (Implicit network authentication, SMS OTP, OTP, QR code, GBA, etc) making it very straightforward. Supports LoA from basic to advanced.

Trust framework could easily be made for Telcos, such has been made for roaming in the mobile world.

Telcos have business opportunities. First they should reclaim the authentication space now taken by google etc. Alone they may not succeed, but if the Telcos work together they can compete.

We already have a wide range of Telco APIs that could justify the business case, particularly mentioned billing, privacy.

Ingo: Agrees that telcos should have their own ISA, as they have specific authentication technology. Telcos must work together to compete with Over the top players (OTTP) such as Google. There are synergies with the Massively Scalable Architecture work.

Philippe: Can this be an action item for discussion together within the telco wg?

Telcos are best-in-class in authentication and need to work together to have a first level of agreement.

Gaël: One of the main objectives of the next F2F is to define clearly the objectives and outcomes/topics that we work on for the year ahead. Philippe's request is timely for consideration during that meeting. We could arrange a slot during the next face to face to discuss this and hear more. We need to compare this as to what has done in WAC - Wholesale Application Community -(collection of mobile providers and others)

Ingo: I can give an update on the current status of WAC. WAC could be one candidate for ISA model.

Gaël: We need at the F2F align our work also with the other Kantara initiatives, eg trust frameworks, APIs. At the same time determine what is in our scope, and what is the scope of other, even external organizations, such as WAC

Philippe agreed to present at F2F. Ingo will give an update on WAC at F2F.
