doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 A meeting was set up between the IEEE 802.1/11 and Swiss NB security experts The Swiss NB has provided significant comment on various 802 standards over the last few years In particular the Swiss NB has had a strong interest in the TEPA based proposals in SC6 from the China NB This has led to significant and important discussions related to the “state of the art” in 802 security standards, but mostly limited to Hans-Rudolf Thomann Hans-Rudolf Thomann has suggested that we might be able to expand discussions with the Swiss NB to other individuals –Josef Schmid has been suggested as another Swiss security expert It was agreed in Geneva that a meeting should be set up between and security experts and the Swiss NB security experts –The first of a likely series of meetings took place on 27 August 2013 Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 29

doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 WAPI has not gone away; it may be re-proposed in SC6 despite uncertainty about the process WAPI was cancelled as an NP proposal in early 2012 There was been little discussion of WAPI in SC6 since that time but there is a possibility it might be re-proposed The process for re-proposing WAPI in SC6 is currently uncertain –There is a claim made at the Korea meeting in June 2013 that the WAPI NP could be un-cancelled by a simple vote of SC6 NBs … –… despite some ambiguity, a case could be made that un-cancelling the WAPI NP requires a new NP ballot Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 31
doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 There is a claim that the WAPI NP could be un- cancelled by a simple vote of SC6 NBs At the SC6 meeting in Korea it was asserted that ISO staff have asserted the WAPI NP could be un-cancelled by a simple vote of SC6 NBs –Although it was also noted that the comments on the old NP form would still need to be resolved The US NB rep asserted that this was contrary to the JTC1 Directives and a new NP ballot would be required Regardless of the rules, it certainly would seem strange to not completely revise an NP form that was submitted in 2009 –Much of the material in the 2009 NP form is very out of date –It would be even more difficult to resolve comments on the 2009 NP form given the claims about WAPI in the market place have now been proved false by the passage of time –At least three of the five NBs that stated in 2009 they would provide experts never have done so Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 32
doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 Despite some ambiguity, a case could be made that un-cancelling the WAPI NP requires a new NP ballot The China NB suggested at the time of cancellation they may resubmit WAPI “when a more favorable standardization environment is available” –This assertion was repeated at the SC6 meeting in Korea in June 2013 The JTC1 Directives are not particularly clear on the process for a project to be re-established once it has been cancelled The best hint comes from the latest NP Ballot form, which includes an option for: –“THIS PROPOSAL RELATES TO THE RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF A CANCELLED PROJECT AS AN ACTIVE PROJECT” This form and the latest JTC1 Directives suggest if there was a proposal to re-establish WAPI then: –It would have be sent to a new NP ballot of SC6 NBs –Assuming the ballot passed, any resulting negative comments would have to be resolved and balloted by the JTC1 NBs Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 33
doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 WAPI has not gone away; it has ongoing support in China WAPI has been an ongoing failure in the marketplace –It does not exist outside China –In China it is widely implemented in mobile phones but rarely deployed Despite this failure WAPI continues to have support in China –It has been a China National standard since about 2003 –It is required to be implemented in mobile phones in China with Wi-Fi by an (unpublished) regulation –It is required to be implemented in APs used by SPs in China an (unpublished) regulation –It was supported by new government funding as recently as late 2012 –The WAPI Alliance is now leveraging the Snowden affair to promote mandatory use of WAPIpromote On the other hand, it appears the Chinese SPs are embracing HS2.0/Passpoint based on i/WPA2-Enterprise Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 34
doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 WAPI will have ample government funding for the foreseeable future WAPI has had support from some parts of the Chinese Government for a long time It appears this support is continuing with the opening of a National Engineering Laboratory in Xi’an in late 2012 –See The focus of the lab (Google Translate) is to “fight for more international standards to adopt China's WAPI security technologies” The attendance at the opening of the lab indicated support for its work from: –“National Information Security Management research institutions” –“industry experts” –“China's electric power, petroleum, finance, transportation” industries Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 35

doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 There is no news on EUHT standardisation in ISO/IEC but some activity in IEEE WG There is no further news on standardisation of EUHT in ISO/IEC and it was not discussed at the SC6 meeting in Korea in June 2013 Nufront presented to the IEEE WG and conducted a Q&A in Hawaii in May 2013 –See 595r0 & 595r1 for presentation595r0595r1 –See 640r0 for Q&A minutes640r0 Nufront will present again to IEEE WG in relation to EUHT (on Wednesday AM1), and more explicitly coexistence with IEEE – EUHT Status Description1147 – EUHT Technology Document1148 – Interference and Co-existence Issues of EUHT network1149 – Process Recommendations on Coexistence Interference Analysis1150 Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 37
doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 SC6/WG7 decided to delay decisions on two PWI proposals related to WLAN SC6/WG7 discussed two proposals for PWIs related to WLAN –N15692: WLAN Cloud — Allows sharing of APs by SPs –N15691: Optimization technology in WLAN — Defines protocol for sending WLAN sniffing data to central database It appears the IEEE 802 delegation was not in attendance when the items were initially discussed However, later in the week the US NB rep successfully argued that PWIs should not be started in WG7 because the items maybe within the scope of WG1 Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 38
doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 SC6/WG7 decided to delay decisions on two PWI proposals related to WLAN It was decided that the items should be discussed in a joint meeting between WG1 and WG7 in Ottawa in February 2014 The approved SC6 resolution was –SC 6 instructs its Secretariat to circulate the documents below for study and comment prior to the interim WG 7 meeting in October –Due to the nature of the topic, the scope should be clarified between WG 1 and WG 7. –SC 6 Secretariat is instructed to arrange a joint session between WG 1 and WG 7 at the next SC 6 meeting in Canada to discuss these topics in more detail and particularly the question of scope. –SC 6 encourages China NB to submit additional documents regarding the details of the proposals and the scope. There was been no further news since the SC6 meeting in Korea Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 39
doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 Is it appropriate for the IEEE 802 to participate in a discussion about the future role of SC6? SC6 participants have noted views privately about the role of SC6 A summary of a view from a number of participants is –Having an SC under JTC1 focusing on networking is more than justifiable –However, with IETF and IEEE 802 dominating in the networking field, there's little room for SC6 to make itself relevant –In addition, some NBs are misusing SC6 to bypass proper review processes by all stakeholders As a stakeholder in the networking industry, does IEEE 802 have a view on the role of SC6? –Maybe as an “upper house” that reviews standards for possible international standardisation but does not develop standards – this is sort of its role now …and is it appropriate to share any views with SC6? Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 40
doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 IEEE 1888 was discussed in SC6/WG7 in Korea for possible submission to SC6 under the PSDO IEEE 1888 is a ratified standard for “UGCCNet: Ubiquitous Green Community Control Network Protocol)” An IEEE 1888 WG delegation proposed the submission of IEEE 1888 to SC6 under the PSDO agreement There was significant discussion in SC6/WG7 comparing IEEE 1888 to ISO/IEC x (DCM: Device Control and Management) It was agreed that there should be further discussions Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 41
doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 The proposed submission of IEEE 1888 raises meta questions for IEEE-SA that were discussed in Geneva Meta questions Under what conditions should IEEE-SA WGs be allowed to make use of the PSDO? –Overuse risks diminishing the reputation of IEEE-SA –Particularly if the submitted standards are of insufficient quality to be “International standards” –But also because submission of many standards makes it easier to make the claim that IEEE is not an international SDO Should IEEE 802 request IEEE-SA to develop a set of criteria for IEEE standards before they are submitted to ISO/IEC –Is the standard appropriate as an ISO/IEC “international” standard? –It is in IEEE-SA’s interest to submit the standard to ISO.IEC under the PSDO? Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 42
doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 The SC discussed in Geneva possible criteria for submission of IEEE standards under the PSDO Possible criteria for submission under PDSO Does it meet the needs of a significant or important set of stakeholders? –ie useful Does it meets the needs of stakeholders situated in multiple countries –ie international scope Is it known to be able achieve its goals in real implementations –Ie viable Has it undergone sufficient development and review by all stakeholders –ie maturity Is it likely be used –ie relevant Is its submission in the interest of IEEE-SA? Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 43
doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 There were no conclusion to the discussion in Geneva about use of the PSDO Geneva discussion Reviewed IEEE 1888 situation Reviewed questions Questions/comments –If there are criteria for the use of the PSDO, who is the arbiter for submissions? –If any change is to be made, such a policy decision will be made by the IEEE Standards Board. –The concern is over sending “lesser” standards to JTC1/SC6 and exposing IEEE to accusations that might bleed over to IEEE 802 submissions. There was no conclusion to this discussion Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 44
doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 It is proposed that further discussion about use of the PSDO be delayed until the November plenary We could/should delay further discussion –We have limited time in Nanjing –It is not clear we have many of the stakeholders in the room –It would be nice to have Standards Board reps involved –We do not yet have a formal proposal Is anyone proposing to make a proposal? What might a proposal look like? –Maybe a WG should be at least be required to document their reasons for using the PSDO, against a minimal set of criteria? –Enforcement/approval is an open question at this time Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 45
doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 The SC6 Chairs statement about repeated discussions of NPs in SC6 has been minuted! SC6 has been discussing various possible NPs for periods up to years over many meetings –eg TePA based proposals This wastes everyone’s time, with endless discussion and no conclusions The SC6 Chair made a statement in Korea limiting discussion on topics in the future This statement will be included in the minutes –The SC6 Chair recommended that items of the same subject should not be discussed more than two times at SC6 meetings before an NP Proposal is submitted to SC6. –The SC 6 Chair strongly requested to the WG 1 Convenor to see to it that this practice be strictly exercised –The SC6 Chair also noted that contributions should not be in the form of stepping on standards of other SDOs. Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 46
doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 Hong Kong NB cannot be a P-Member of SC6 One of the China NB reps has announced he is now a HK NB rep This led to a concern that HK NB may become a voting P-Member of SC6 Given the very small number of active SC6 P-member this could distort voting in SC6 After investigating the rule, it appears that HK NB can never become a P- Member, at least partially because HK is not a country Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 47

doc.: IEEE /1052r1 Submission Sept 2013 ISO and IEEE will renegotiate the PSDO, and requested comments in Nov 2012 – no update The ISO and IEEE will renegotiating the PSDO in 2014 IEEE 802 may want to provide comments to IEEE staff Does this group have any comments? From Nov 2012 –IEEE should ensure only groups with an established track record may propose use of PSDO; 802.1/3/11 would all qualify –The default state should be that all revisions are undertaken by the source IEEE group, but that group must provide a way for NB reps to participate and contribute –Revisions should be better defined to include any activity that ultimately leads to the next edition of a standard, including amendments and corrections –A revision should also include any work that relies on an IEEE standard ratified under the PSDO and yet adds to, changes or replaces its functions, particularly if it does so in a way that effectively generates independent and incompatible standards There has been no further news on this topic since Nov 2012 Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 50
