Subject: RE: What ebXML specifications do we need?


Dick

If we have something titled simply "ebXML Security and Signature
Specification" then how would we distinguish it from a similar specifcation
we might develop in the future based on the W3C/IETF XML DSig work.

Does it make more sense to have three specifications:
1. ebXML S/MIME Security and Signature Specification
2. ebXML PGP Security and Signature Specification, and
3. ebXML XML Dsig Security and Signature Specification

... or should we combine the first two into one?

Thoughts?

David, could I suggest rewording 6a to:

6a. ebXML Security and Signature Specification - how to use S/MIME
or PGP to sign and encrypt ebXML Messages

Thanks,

Subject: What ebXML specifications do we need?


Folks

I thought it might be useful for us to identify all the specifications we
need to develop. Here's my list for starters:

1. ebXML Message Header Specification - what we're working on
2a. ebXML MIME Message Envelope Specification - how to wrap header's and
bodies in a MIME wrapper
2b. ebXML XML Message Envelope Specification - how to wrap headers and
bodies in XML - we should do this later
3. ebXML Document Exchange Template Specification - defines how we handle
requests, responses, message acks, cancel, error, etc and include state
diagrams for each end.
4. ebXML Reliable Messaging Specification - how to achieve robust reliable
once-only delivery of message in a vendor neutral, transport independent way
5a. ebXML Messaging over HTTP Specification - how to send ebXML Messages
using HTTP or HTTPS
5b. ebXML Messaging over SMTP Specification - how to send ebXML Messages
using SMTP
6a. ebXML S/MIME Security and Signature Specification - how to use S/MIME
with ebXML Messages
6b. ebXML XMLDsig Security and Signature Specification - how to use IETF/W3C
XML Digital Signatures with ebXML Messages - we wouldn't do this until later
7. ebXML Transaction Status Inquiry Specification - how to inquire on the
current status of a transaction
8. ebXML Service Availability Specification - how to determine if a Service
is up and running
9. ebXML Publish & Subscribe Specification - how to do Publish and Subscribe
securely using any of the above
10. ebXML Messaging Discovery Specification - how to determine the
parameters associated with a Service from the ebXML Messaging perspective.
11. ebXML Messaging Audit Trail Specification - how to create an audit trail
of the messages exchanged during a transaction.

In my view we need to do 1, 2 and 5 before we have a usable specification
and 1 through 5 before we have one we can use in a B2B context.

Thoughts?
