[Fiware-security] FI-WARE Security - Important message to T8.4 Lead to align D2.4 to D2.3

[BISSON Pascal]

Dear Slim, Dear Francesco,

I'm now in the process of putting things back into perspective aka D2.4 back into perspective of D2.3.

When looking at what is said for what concerns Optional Security Services in 2.3.

(check http://forge.fi-ware.eu/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/FIWARE.ArchitectureDescription.Security.Optional_Security_Enablers)

We added a text (on which I agree) that says: "The descriptions enclosed here are still under development, and services listed here will likely not be planned for the first release but future releases of FI-WARE. Nevertheless, these descriptions are provided in order to give more visibility of our plans and capture early feedback from potential users."

And here I found only DB Anonymizer and Morphus (so not SSS) . Please check if you want to add SSS architecture description as well or not. For me being said it has been produced as well it could be added. In case you would see something missing preventing it to be added please contact Philippe and/or Lucie to sort this out.

NOW and in scope of D2.4 (Technology roadmap) we should align with what says D2.3.  As such I DO THINK WE SHOULD MOVE OPTIONAL SECURITY SERVICES FUNCTIONALITIES FROM FIRST RELEASE TO THE SECOND RELEASE INSTEAD. This to align with D2.3 but also put us on the safe side (only MUST or SHOULD functionalities should go into First Release).
Being said this roadmap would be communicated to the Use Case projects they could also react to us saying that some of the announced functionalities for second release would be nice to have before. And here we could react to their demand and have them answered the way we think is appropriate.

Please let me know if we can agree with me on this (my hope) and if so I would ask you to implement things the way it has been prescribed (i.e. move Optional security services announced from release 1 to release 2). [The only alternative I can see would be to publish only (aka DB Anonymizer since a priori supported by one of the UC projects) but still I prefer the first solution that would also offer the advantage to OUTSMART project and other UC Projects to call for optional security services announced in Release 2]

Hearing from you asap being said this has to be addressed by EOB today.

Best regards,

Pascal
