Subject: [saag] Fwd: FPWD Transition Announcement - XML Security Specifications

FYI, W3C has published initial working drafts for a number of  
documents related to XML Signature and Encryption:

1. Incremental revisions of XML Signature and Encryption.  These  
revisions focus on adding markup and algorithm support for EC DSA (at  
the same time addressing some known issues with RFC 4050).  We would  
appreciate early comment from the IETF community.

2. Markup for derived keys.  This document, too, is one that could use  
review from the IETF community.

3. A requirements and design document for a possible version 2 of XML  
Signature.  This document focuses on attempting to devise a simpler  
transform model for XML Signature, in order to remove some of the  
complexity of the current specification.

The full list of drafts released is in the message quoted below.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Frederick or me.

Thanks,
