To all who may be interested,
The IEEE Information Assurance Standards Committee (IASC) jointly with
the Storage Systems Standards Committee (SSSC) will soon be balloting
security in storage draft standards and other IA standards.
If you are interested in becoming a balloter of one of these or other
standards, you need to taken steps soon to receive notice of impending
balloting, to be invited to ballot, and then to actually ballot these
draft standards.
Please visit http://ieeeia.org/balloting.html to understand what these
steps are.
The draft standard that will be balloted next for IASC and SSSC is the
IEEE P1619.1 draft standard, entitled 'Draft Standard for
Authenticated Encryption with Length Expansion for Storage Devices'.
This draft was developed in the IASC Security in Storage Workgroup
(SISWG) and has support from several large tape drive and bridge
vendors (including IBM, HP, Sun, Quantum, Cisco, Decru, and Neoscale),
and will likely become a strong standard for encryption of stored
data.
Other projects of IASC and SISWG may be viewed at
http://ieeeia.org/projects.html, which includes links to the project
authorizations (PARs) that describe the scopes and purposes of each.
One of these, IEEE P1667, Authentication of Transiently Connected
Storage Devices, was balloted in September, and is expected to be
approved as a published standard in December.
Very Respectfully,
Jack Cole
IASC Chair
