TSG-SA WG3 (Security) meeting #7		TSGS-WG3#5(99)359
Den Haag, 26-27 October, 1999	
Source:	Chairman TSG-SA WG3
Title:	Notes on SA#5
Document for:	Information 
Agenda Item:	5.1

Hereafter the main points for our consideration from the SA meeting:

1.	All of our CR's (to TS33.102 and TS33.105) were accepted - unfortunately two were not included in the pack, so will be presented next time.

2.	The 'Integration guidelines' (TS33.103) was approved - so this is now under CR control.

3.	The 'Formal analysis of security mechanisms' (TR33.902) was approved - so this is now under CR control.  (The chairman requested that this should be approved so that it could be sent to the ITU).

4.	Our draft Liaison Statement to AHAG, expressing 3GPP SA support for our authentication mechanism to be considered as a candidate for 3GPP2, was approved and sent.

5.	I presented the SA3 view on what it would deliver for release 99 - and this was accepted (please see my report to SA).

6.	I presented an update on the cipher design on evaluation.  Two important points are to be noted:

a)	Ericsson has kindly offered to fund a third evaluation (under the same terms as the first two) - so we can now choose three - thank you Ericsson.

b)	I explained Mitsubishi's revised IPR statement regarding the use of MISTY as a starting point for the cipher.  IPR for this particular use is royalty free ,provided that if SAGE develops another cipher which becomes a fundamental part of the standard and which is based on an algorithm supplied by another company, then this other company should reflect the IPR condition.  I consider this a sound basis for SAGE to continue with its work based in MISTY.  There may be legal i's to dot and t's to cross, but this is not for SA3 to be concerned with.

7.	I explained that the LI work needed more active participation from the regulators - we will wait to see what happens now.
