[xacml] Plans for XACML and WSPL

  • 1.  [xacml] Plans for XACML and WSPL

    Colleagues interested in WSPL:
    
    Here is a plan for how we work on WSPL within XACML.  Comments
    welcome.  Tony, I hope I have addressed your concern about XACML
    and actual ownership of WSPL requirements.
    
    -Anne
    
    SCOPE
    
       a. XACML TC definitely does not own the requirements for WSPL
          since we do not own the charter for web services or web
          services security.
    
       b. Nevertheless, XACML TC should not wait for WSS or some new
          group (TBD) to be chartered to issue formal requirements
          before we start our investigation.  Many requirements are
          fairly clear and already known, and we can be investigating
          areas where XACML need to be extended to meet already known
          requirements.
    
    XACML TC PLAN FOR WORK ON WSPL
    
       a. Define a set of use cases.  Tim is working on a draft.
    
       b. From the use cases, extract a set of requirements to work
          from.  These are for XACML TC use, and not intended as a
          definitive set of requirements for WSS or TBD.  But XACML
          TC will share the requirements we identify with WSS or
          TBD.
    
       c. Evaluate XACML capabilities against the requirements and
          determine additional work needed for XACML to meet those
          requirements.
    
       d. Do the additional work.
    
       e. As requirements from WSS or TBD are defined, incorporate
          them into our analysis and work effort.
