Markdown

• Tony C noted that use of Markdown is being raised in other OASIS TCs. Markdown would be used as a replacement for the current MS Word formatted documents.
• TC members briefly discussed their experiences using Markdown and its benefits
  • Markdown would make documentation more amenable to machine readability
  • Links to several Markdown resources were provided
    • Mastering Markdown: https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/
    • Markdown Cheatsheet: https://guides.github.com/pdfs/markdown-cheatsheet-online.pdf
• Tony C recommended that TC members familiarize themselves with Markdown and we can include considering changing to Markdown for KMIP 3.1 and later as a topic on the agenda for the KMIP Summit planned for later this year.

TCG Update

• Judy F passed on an update from her colleague Chandra N on the TCG Storage WG.

  • The TCG Storage WG group have completed a ballot on the key format for key injection for (NVMe) KPIO (key per I/O). The group voted to support the KMIP defined key format as the one to prioritize. The TCG defined key format will be deprioritized for now.
  • Once they WG has more clarity on the KMIP key types etc. they (via Chandra N) will be engaging with the KMIP OASIS TC regarding a new profile etc.

• Tim C raised that the update going on with ISO 27040 Information Technology - Security Techniques - Storage Security is also raising some other KMIP updates/profile needs. More details will be provided at a future TC meeting.
