The JTC1 ad hoc dealt with issues related to the IEEE 802 relationship with ISO/IEC JTC1
Agenda and results
Review purpose of JTC1 ad hoc
Deal with issues related to IEEE 802 to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6 relationship
This continues to include WAPI, partially because of continuing assertions by the WAPI promoters that i is insecure
Review status of WAPI in ISO/IEC JTC1, IETF and BWIPS
WAPI (based on abgh) is likely to be submitted by the China NB to a JTC1 fast track ballot, but has been delayed by copyright concerns
Elements of WAPI have been submitted to IETF
China BWIPS is developing a WAPI over 11n spec
Discuss goals of JTC1 ad hoc’s consideration of WAPI
Possibly provide a technical review of WAPI proposal to JTC1NB’s
Possibly suggest WAPI be sent to independent security review
