Rights Management

Dave G is still looking for a point-by-point critique of the material he and Parminder have previously present.

John expressed concern about the default expression and expects that IP Authors will want to start with a policy baseline, and make limited changes to that standard profile. Ray expressed concern about design attributes stored in the data_block, and maintaining integrity of the design as the attribute values change. John identified the envelope as needing more development to clarify how protection attributes are applied, and what exactly is part of the envelope structure. Dave and John noted that the current LRMs do not specify a validation scheme for the markup syntax, and that needs to be addressed in order to create confidence in the rights management integrity.

Parminder noted that the Cadence contribution provides a rights syntax that associates with tools/activities, but does not associate it with a data state that identifies the progression of design data through a particular flow. John asked if it wasn't sufficient to deal with how a transformative tool transformed the rights. Dave replied that a data state scheme could help avoid needing to rewrite the rights under transformation, by requiring the IP Author to pre-compute the transformations and tools would need to associate the correct tag with the transformed output.
