    Subject: FW: [security-services] Proposed Agenda for SAML 2.0 F2F. Forwarded message from Mishra, Prateek.


    SAML AuthzDecisionQuery/Resp people,
    
    Any objections to this schedule?  We would have time on Tuesday
    to do our side-session (time still unspecified, but RSA would
    provide facilities), and then present our joint AuthzQuery
    proposal to the SSTC on Wednesday from 9-10:30.
    
    I am also including the latest version of the Abstract
    Requirements list.  Note that these are candidate requirements -
    being on the list does not mean we have agreed yet.  This list
    does not include anything for step 1 of multi-step authorization,
    because it seems that should be a separate type of
    "AttributeQuery", not necessarily handled by a PDP.  I will put
    it on the list for discussion if the OGSA people still think it
    should be part of the AuthzQuery.
    
    Anne
    
    Title:   Abstract Requirements for SAML AuthorizationDecisionQuery/Response
    Author:  Anne Anderson
    Version: 1.2, 03/08/28 (yy/mm/dd)
    
    1. Way to pass an XACML Request Context in the Query and an XACML
       Response Context in the Decision.  Should not extend
       SubjectQueryAbstractType and SubjectStatementAbstractType
       because Subject element is redundant and inconsistent.
    2. Way to indicate in the Query that an (note might not match
       input Request) XACML Request Context is to be returned as part
       of the Decision.
    3. Way to indicate in the Query whether the PDP is free to
       collect Attributes for use in making the Decision from sources
       other than the XACML Request Context passed in the Query.
    4. Associate a DataType with an Issuer name, such that the name
       can be determined to be a string, an X.500 Distinguished Name,
       etc.
    5. Way to return an XACML Policy/PolicySet in a Decision as a
       condition that must evaluate to "Permit" in order for the
       Decision to be valid.  Way to indicate that such a condition
       is associated with the Decision.  Might be appropriate to put
       this condition and indication into the XACML Response Context
       itself.
    6. Way to pass an XACML Policy/PolicySet in a Query along with
       an indication that such a policy is being supplied and whether
       this Policy/PolicySet is to be used alone or in conjunction
       with other Policies/PolicySets available to the PDP in
       evaluating the Query.
    7. Better correspondence between SAML Attribute format and XACML
       Request Context Attribute format such that SAML Attributes can
       be translated into XACML Request Context Attributes
       mechanically and easily.
    8. SAML Policy Statement syntax, allowing an issuer to state and
       sign an XACML Policy/PolicySet.
    9. SAML Policy Query syntax, allowing a PDP to request a Policy/PolicySet
       by its Policy[Set]Id from an on-line Policy Administration
       Point (are there any online PAPs?  If not, no need for this).

    Anne,
     
    Here is the proposed agenda. Our thinking was that if XACML needed a
    "side-session",
    this could be accomplished on Tuesday. Rob has indicated that RSA would make
    the
    needed facilities available.
     
    Does it work for you?
