Hi everybody

The FIWARE Middleware Kiara "User and Developer Guide? and the "Installation and Administration Guide" for version 0.2.0 are finally ready.

In Markdown format on GitHub in develop branch: 
- https://github.com/FIWARE-Middleware/KIARA/tree/develop

On the FIWARE wiki page:
- http://wiki.fi-ware.org/Middleware_-_KIARA_-_Installation_and_Administration_Guide_R4.2
- http://wiki.fi-ware.org/Middleware_-_KIARA_-_User_and_Programmers_Guide_R4.2

Also the Unit Testing plan is there (only on the wiki):
- http://wiki.fi-ware.org/Middleware_-_KIARA_-_Unit_Testing_Plan_and_Report_R4.2

The wiki pages are already linked from the new I2ND Materializing page:
- http://wiki.fi-ware.org/Materializing_the_Interface_to_Networks_and_Devices_(I2ND)_in_FI-WARE

Beside porting it from the google docs document it took more time than expected, to review and rephrase some of the content and to verify it.

I also extended the build.gradle to include testing summaries.
In the Examples repo I added a runServer and runClient task.

The API-Specifications still have to be ported. Since I now have set up a good toolchain this should be faster then the first version of the guide. If not to many changes/updates are required, it should be done by Friday evening.

Best regards
Christof

Subject: [Fiware-middleware] Middleware Security Specification WorkItem
Message-ID: <553911E3.9050801@dfki.de>

For defining security specification we need to clarify meaning of 
following features:

I) FIWARE.Feature.I2ND.Kiara.RPCJavaSecurity.Authentication

What is the main purpose of authentication in case of a client and a 
server based on KIARA? Is it

1) either unidirectional authentication (server to client, or client to 
server) or
     mutual authentication (client and server authenticate each other)

2) other kinds of authentication (Is it possible to give an example?)


In case 1), authentication protocols like SSL produce a 
unidirectional/bidirectional secure channel.
Is it intended to use this channel afterwards for communication?

II) FIWARE.Feature.I2ND.Kiara.RPCJavaSecurity.Encryption

Whether AES (as default plugin for encryption/decryption) is intended 
for field encryption ?

We need an answer as soon as possible, preferably until tomorrow meeting.

Best,

Dmitri
