Re: Transport and packaging security standards?

[Christopher Ferris <chris.ferris@east.sun.com>]

The security section of the ebXML Message Service specification has been
significantly revised. All are encouraged to review and provide
feedback to the draft ebXML Message Service Specification - version 0.92
that will be published to the ebxml-transport list no later than Monday.

This draft is the culmination of the efforts of the London face2face
meetings held this week. It incorporates the changes that have been 
agreed in the con-calls (the list of issues against v0.8) as well
as some team edits made during the face2face as we reviewed each section.

The security section reflects the decisions made to support XMLDSIG
and adds the security profiles that have been discussed in the ta-security
and transport lists.

Cheers,

Chris
