This Workshop addresses implementors and users of the XML Signature and XML Encryption Suites of specifications to discuss experiences and next steps. The intended audience includes specification writers that have built their work on top of these specifications.
The aim of this workshop is to make recommendations to the W3C and to build community consensus about possible next steps for the XML Security specifications.
Position papers must be submitted via email to member-xmlsec-submit@w3.org no later than 14 August. See the Call for Participation for details.
Position papers and workshop agenda are available.
The workshop report identifies areas of interest for possible follow-up work. The XML Security Specifications Maintenance Working Group is chartered to produce a draft charter for follow-up work. This Workshop report will serve as input to that deliverable. To enable discussion among Workshop attendees, Working Group members, and the broader community, a new mailing list public-xmlsec-discuss@w3.org (public archive) has been created. Participation in that mailing list is open to all interested parties.
