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/ba
lloting.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/pro
jects.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
