<h1>Security Activity Statement</h1>
<p class="firstelement">The work in the W3C Security Activity
currently
comprises two Working Groups and one Interest Group: the <a href="../2008/xmlsec/">XML
Security Working
Group</a> focuses on maintaining and revising the XML Security
Specifications. The <a href="http://www.w3.org/2011/webappsec/">Web
Application Security Working Group</a> has the mission to
develop security and policy mechanisms to improve the security
of Web Applications, and enable secure cross-site
communication. The Web Security Interest Group serves as a
forum for discussion about improving standards and
implementations to advance the security of the Web.<br />
<br />
</p>
<p>The XML Security Working Group started up in summer 2008, and
has decided to publish an interim
set of 1.1 specifications as it works towards producing a more
radical change to XML Signature. The
<a href="../TR/xmldsig-core1/">XML Signature 1.1</a> and <a href="../TR/xmlenc-core1/">XML
Encryption
1.1</a> specifications clarify and enhance the previous
specifications without
introducing breaking changes, although they do introduce new
algorithms. These specifications are
at Candidate Recommendation stage, and are currently the subject
of discussion in a <a href="/2011/02/xmlsec-pag-charter.html">Patent
Advisory Group.</a></p>
<p>The Web Application Security Working Group and the Web Security
Interest Group were launched in early September 2011.</p>
<h2>Highlights Since the Previous Advisory Committee Meeting</h2>
<p>The following deliverables of the XML Security Working Group
are in Candidate Recommendation:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/xmldsig-core-11/Overview.html">XML
Signature v1.1</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/xmlenc-core-11/Overview.html">XML
Encryption v1.1</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/xmldsig-properties/Overview.html">XML
Signature Properties</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec/Drafts/generic-hybrid-ciphers/Overview.html">XML
Security Generic Hybrid Ciphers</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The <a href="http://www.w3.org/2011/xmlsec-pag/">XML Security
PAG</a> is <a href="http://www.w3.org/2011/02/xmlsec-pag-charter.html">chartered</a>
to study issues and propose
solutions related to <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlenc-core1">XML
Encryption 1.1</a> and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core1/">XML
Signature 1.1</a>.</p>
<p>The Advisory Committee reviewed a proposal to launch a Web
Application Security Working Group and a Web Security Interest
Group. Both proposals were approved by the Director in early
September 2011.<br />
</p>
<h2>Upcoming Activity Highlights</h2>
<p>The <a href="http://www.w3.org/2011/07/appsecwg-charter.html">Web
Application
Security Working Group</a> will have its face-to-face kick-off
meeting at the upcoming TPAC.</p>
