Liaison Reports

P1800 recieved SA Board approval for IEEE Std1800-2009.

John reported that VHDL-AMS is finalizing a PAR for 1076.1 to align with IEEE Std1076-2008, including the encryption support.

Inter-operability Testing

Dave an John picked up the version pragma discussion begun on the reflector. John reiterated that the current version pragma was intended to address schema changes in the pragma. Steven pointed to key replacement as an existing solution to addressing security problems.

The group discussed the intended scope of version 1 inter-operability. Dave identified transformational tools (such as synthesis) as concerns, and asked what we should say about their behavior. John suggested that those tools should align with P1735 recommendations for envelope processing, and document their output behavior so that users could choose whether to include the controlling keyblocks in their IP.
