> Description of Working Group:
>
> The goal of the Web Transaction Security Working Group is to develop
> requirements and a specification for the provision of security services
> to Web transaction, eg. transactions using HyperText Transport Protocol
> (HTTP). This work will proceed in parallel to and independently of the
> development of non-security features in the HTTP Working Group. The
> working group will prepare two documents for submission as Internet
> Drafts; an HTTP Security Requirements Specification, and an HTTP
> Security Protocol Specification. The latter will be submitted as a
> Standards Track RFC.
>
> Goals and Milestones:
>
> Done HTTP Security Requirements submitted as Internet-Draft.
>
> Jul 95 HTTP Security Requirements finalized at the Stockholm IETF. Submit
> HTTP Security Specification proposal(s) as Internet-Drafts.
>
> Dec 95 HTTP Security Specification finalized at the Dallas IETF, submitted
> to IESG for Standards Track action.
