Agenda

Participation Status and Voting rights reminder
All need to add their desired status to the Participation status and voting rights
Spec Review sub committee
Security HC has signoff on all specifications, need to refresh the list of folks willing to help review non-security specifications
@Andrew Dellow to add a page to confluence listing the volunteers to review, and track the reviews
Merging the uSC SIG into the RTI SIG
uSC feel there isn't sufficient ongoing activity to justify a SIG, so proposal is to merge this into the RTI SIG. Alternatively the Security HC could also host these discussions. Are leakage considerations really part of RTI ? What about the CFI SIG, this seems definitely part of RTI ?
@Andrew Dellow to check the procedure to request closure of the SIG
Agreed the need to disband, given the SIGs opinion, and to discuss in the security HC. @Greg Favor noted that TGs are under HCs/ICs and not SIGs so no change to the TGs. see votes, below
Proposal to start a Crypto SIG, and close the Crypto TG
currently two crypto TGs active, PQC and HAC, but when they finish there wont be a committee to discuss and track crypto related developments. Crypto TG has always been this, but doesn't fit within RVI policy as TG needs tightly defined charter with deliverables and finite life. Need participation commitment from 3 entities.
Agreed the need to disband the crypto TG and start a crypto SIG to be in line with RVI policy. see vote below
charter proposal: Cryptography SIG

 Cryptography is one of the foundations of secure and trusted system.

 The Cryptography SIG will monitor and examine developments in cryptography and their implications to Risc-V on an ongoing basis, and define the strategy for robust, performant cryptography within Risc-V.

 Scope

 Monitor and Examine developments in the field of cryptography,  particularly their implications for Risv-V,. including areas such as

  • New Algorithms

  • Protocols

  • Standards

  • Attacks

 Define the Cryptography strategy for Risc-V to ensure compliance, efficiency, performance and robustness are state of the art.

 Consider the need for new task groups to address requirements as they arise, and propose these to the Security HC

 Coordinate with other task groups and HCs, ICs
