<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Dear FAPI WG</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">We had a productive discussion on the Atlantic call today with relation to these issues:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><div class="gmail_default"><a href="https://bitbucket.org/openid/fapi/issues/479/change-to-the-naming-of-fapi" target="_blank">https://bitbucket.org/openid/fapi/issues/479/change-to-the-naming-of-fapi</a><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><a href="https://bitbucket.org/openid/fapi/issues/499/re-structure-fapi2-baseline" target="_blank">https://bitbucket.org/openid/fapi/issues/499/re-structure-fapi2-baseline</a><br></div></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">The consensus on the call was as follows:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">1. We don't change the name of FAPI to "Fortified" or "Functional" API</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">2. We transition to drop "Financial-Grade" in most places, and simply refer to the WG and Specs as FAPI (i.e. use the acronym as a word in its own right)</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">3. We adjust the text on the FAPI website (and in spec intros) to make it clear that there are many use-cases for FAPI specs across a variety of verticals (e.g. health, telco and finance)</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">The reasoning for the above is that a name change would cause more problems than it solves, ie. it would potentially bring more confusion. We are stuck with the acronym, so let's focus on just using that. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">We also discussed changing the names of the following FAPI 2.0 specs</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">FAPI 2.0 Baseline Profile -> FAPI 2.0 Security Profile</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">FAPI 2.0 Advanced -> FAPI 2.0 Message Signing</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">The reason for this is that the advanced profile doesn't bring additional security to an API, it rather brings the ability for messages to be signed for non-repudiation. The current "baseline" profile protects against the defined FAPI 2.0 attacker model and therefore shouldn't be downplayed by being namd "baseline", it can simply be the "FAPI 2.0 Security Profile".</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">We are keen to get the next implementers drafts out for the above 2 specs soon.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">If there are any objections to the above then please can you email the list or leave a comment in the above referenced issues.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Thanks</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Dave</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:1em;font-weight:bold;line-height:1.4"><div style="color:rgb(97,97,97);font-family:"Open Sans";font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;line-height:21px"><div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:0.925em;line-height:1.4;color:rgb(220,41,30);font-weight:bold"><div style="font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:lato,"open sans",arial,sans-serif;line-height:normal"><div style="color:rgb(0,164,183);font-weight:bold;font-size:1em;line-height:1.4"><div style="font-weight:400;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:normal"><div style="color:rgb(0,164,183);font-weight:bold;font-size:1em;line-height:1.4">Dave Tonge</div><div style="font-size:0.8125em;line-height:1.4"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">FAPI WG Co-Chair</div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
