Thanks Adam.  This is close.  You added trust frameworks to the scope but not the deliverables.  I’d suggest adding this to the list of non-specification deliverables:

User Security Event Sharing and Coordination Trust Framework

·        A trust framework defining roles and responsibilities of parties sharing user security event information

Subject: Re: [OIDFSC] AATOC Working Group Charter

Okay, I've revised the charter, with a new name, USESC (I couldn't fathom losing the "O" in AATOC). It doesn't have quite the ring but it's a bit more general which is useful since I think what will be produced will have uses beyond abuse and account takeovers. I've also included a deliverable on trust frameworks.

Here it is:
USESC Charter

1) Working Group name:

User Security Event Sharing and Coordination Working Group (USESC Working Group)

2) Purpose

The goal of USESC is to provide data sharing schemas, privacy recommendations and protocols to:


·        Share information about important security events related to user accounts in order to thwart attackers from leveraging compromised accounts from one Service Provider to gain access to accounts on other Service Providers (mobile or web application developers and owners).

·        Enable users and providers to coordinate in order to securely restore accounts following a compromise.


Internet accounts that use email addresses or phone numbers as the primary identifier for the account will be the initial focus.

3) Scope

The group will define:

·        Security events
These are events – whether directly authentication-related or occurring at another time in the user flow – that take place on one service that could also have security implications on other Service Providers. The group will develop a taxonomy of security events and a common set of semantics to express relevant information about a security event.

·        Privacy Implications
Sharing security information amongst providers has potential privacy implications for both end users and service providers. These privacy implications must be balanced against the recognized benefits of protecting users’ accounts and data from abuse.  The group will consider ways to optimize this balance when defining mechanisms to handle the various security events and recommend best practices for the industry.


·        Communications mechanisms
Define bindings for the use of an existing transport protocol defined elsewhere.


·        Event schema
Define a schema describing relevant events and relationships to allow for dissemination between interested and authorized parties.

·        Trust Frameworks
Define at least one model for the conditions under which information would be shared.


·        Account recovery mechanisms

Standardized mechanism(s) to allow providers to signal that a user has regained control of an account, or allow a user to explicitly restore control of a previously compromised account, with or without direct user involvement.

Out of scope:

Determining the account quality/reputation of a user on a particular service and communicating that to others.


Definition of APIs and underlying mechanisms for connecting to, interacting with and operating centralized databases or intelligence clearinghouses when these are used to communicate security events between account providers.

4) Proposed Deliverables

The group proposes the following Non-Specification deliverables:


Security Event and Account Lifecycle Schema

·        A taxonomy of security events and a common set of semantics to express relevant information about a security event and its relationships to other relevant data, events or indicators.


Security Event Privacy Guidelines

A set of recommendations on how to minimize the privacy impact on users and service providers while improving security, and how to provide appropriate privacy disclosures, labeling and access control guidelines around information in the Security Event Schema.


The group proposes the following Specification deliverables:


Communications Mechanisms

Define bindings for the event messages to an already existing transport protocol to promote interoperability of sending event information to another Service Provider. This will allow a Service Provider to implement a single piece of infrastructure that would be able to send or receive event information to any other service provider.


Order of Deliverables

The group will work to produce the Security Event and Account Lifecycle Schema before beginning work on the Communications Mechanism.

5) Anticipated audience or users

·        Service Providers who manage their own account systems which require an email address or phone number for registration.

·        Account and email providers that understand key security events that happen to a user’s account.

·        Identity as a Service (IDaaS) vendors that manage account and authentication systems for their customers.

·        Users seeking to regain control of a compromised account.

6) Language

English

7) Method of work:

E-mail discussions on the working group mailing list, working group conference calls, and face-to-face meetings from time to time.

8) Basis for determining when the work is completed:

Rough consensus and running code. The work will be completed once it is apparent that maximal consensus on the draft has been achieved, consistent with the purpose and scope.

Trent,

we (Confyrm) have started work on a number of aspects of a trust framework in conjunction with Tom Smedinghoff  as part of the work we did with the Uk Govt and the NSTIC pilot - still early but hopefully will bootstrap some of the work here

+aatoc-list

For name, I agree with Nat's suggestion of 'Abuse and Account Take Over Coordination Work Group (AATOC Work Group)'. This just prevents a name change for everyone as well as the mailing list mechanics.

@mike, I think your suggestions about defining trust frameworks also make sense. Do you have any good examples of where this has been done? Will need to discuss this with the rest of the group but in our discussion of transport, there have been some implicit trust framework concepts at play. In the end, I think there may be different models about with whom info is shared. This will depend on the specific data we define, the quality of data that service providers can share, and the relevant privacy policies of those providers.

thanks,
AD

While we are in the title, in view of the recent executive order http://m.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/02/13/executive-order-promoting-private-sector-cybersecurity-information-shari, we might suggest including the name "Information Sharing and analysis", e.g., AATISAC.

Subject: Re: [OIDFSC] AATOC Working Group Charter

I am fine with ATO WG as well. My objection was that the name had the Group in it, which is not a defined word in OpenID Process, so the WG name would become AATOC Group WG, which is repeating "Group" and awkward. It is just an editorial stuff.

Are you objecting to the first A and the last C of AATOC?

I understand the need to be precise but ATO WG can probably convey the same message.

Subject: Re: [OIDFSC] AATOC Working Group Charter

Dear Specs Council members,

It looks generally fine, with one friendly amendment:

Change the title of the working group from:
Abuse and Account Takeover Coordination Group

to:
Abuse and Account Takeover Coordination Working Group

as "Abuse and Account Takeover Coordination Group Working Group" is a bit awkward.
I am fine with putting it as just "Abuse and Account Takeover Coordination" as well, since there is a precedence for it.

Could any specs council member respond early in this thread if you have any objection or friendly amendment. We have been a bit slack lately that we have been relying on two weeks limit to execute a charter, but we should be able to act more quickly.

Cheers,

Nat
