Dan, Thanks for the list,

Has device certificates dropped from the active discussions?  I suspect code 
changes would be desirable regardless of the decision to move forward with a 
single root CA or multiple root CAs selected by individual OEMs.

See inline for other comments.

Subject: RE: [Allseen-core] Security 2.0 status, and proposals for improvements


This is the current high-level wish list of improvements that we are 
investigating at MSFT. It is still unclear how many and when we'll be able to 
implement them.



1. Add new Manifest format, more granular, as I proposed in the attached email.

                - Also consider removing the support for the problematic 15.09 
Manifest format

[kens]  I need clarification on what you are proposing.   Is it as Phil 
summarized in the e-mail you attached?   In which case then more granular 
refers to segmenting the manifest?  The 15.09 manifest should not be supported 
if it is replaced.



2. Add XML-based public methods for Policy, Manifest, Manifest Template.

- Consider removing the current public methods, if they are superseded by the 
new methods

[kens] I agree with removing superseded methods that would fall under the 
developer preview for sec 2



3. Add StartManagement + EndManagement methods, called by a Security Manager to 
notify the target app that its Security settings are about to change.

[kens]  I'll reply to your later email on the topic.



4. Add public C APIs corresponding to the most useful public C++ methods.



5. Significant changes to the implementation of the Key Store - to address 
ASACORE-2661, ASACORE-2664, and other shortcomings.



6. Make it easier to share a single Key Store between two processes running on 
a single machine.

[kens]  This should include making it easy for a security manager to determine 
that the key store is shared so that it can construct policies and manifests.



7. Add a new SPEKE auth mechanism - similar but better than the current PSK.



8. Introduce the concept of "Recommended Security Level". For example:

- Manufacturer of an  "org.Contoso.GunSafe" device might want to recommend that 
interface as accessible just to "Privileged" users

- Manufacturer of an  "org.Contoso.WirelessSpeaker" device might want to 
recommend that interface as "NonPrivileged"

- Manufacturer of an  "org.Contoso.LightSwitch" device might want to recommend 
that interface as "Unauthenticated"

[kens]  I like it.  Consider mapping the recommendation to the peer types for 
consistency.



9. Investigate the numerous active JIRA tickets related to Security and fix 
those that the Core WG decides are important.



If anyone has questions or other kind of feedback, please speak up.



Dan

There are some changes being proposed, however, I think it is developer API 
changes rather than the interface definitions on the wire.  I have CC'ed Dan 
Mihai who is driving the updates to Security 2.0.  He can correct or elaborate 
as appropriate.

Hi everyone,



Is it possible to release the latest 15.09(a)-related Security 2.0 HLD ? As

Also, is the production-grade 16.04 Security 2.0 roadmap decided upon (e.g. 
things like interface description servers and like) ?



Thanks,
