  6. Working Group 9 - Executive Summary • The Emergency Alert System is the primary warning system that provides the President with the means to address the nation during a national crisis. • CSRIC Working Group 9 was established to provide recommendations and best practices for the deployment of CAP. • March 2012 • Text to Speech • Device Certification • June 2012 • Audio File Security • Audio File Format

  7. Working Group # 9 - Findings • #1 CAP 1.2 provides an optional means of securing resource elements (audio, graphics, documents or other multimedia), but its’ use is not currently required by the IPAWS profile. • #2 After ECIG issued its version 1.0 Implementation Guide, FEMA concurred with ECIG about limiting audio types to MP3only. ECIG noted this FEMA memoranda on their web site, but has not yet issued an update to their 1.0 Implementation Guide.

  8. Working Group # 9 - Recommendations Authentication of Audio Resources in CAP Messaging • The Working Group’s recommendation is that any CAP messages intended for dissemination via the IPAWS aggregator should include a digest element, as referenced in the CAP 1.2 standard. The digest element is “optional” in the CAP 1.2 standard. • The Working Group suggests that this approach would provide for authentication of resource elements and that use of the “digest element” should be required when a resource element is referenced in a CAP message, if needed for CAP EAS.

  9. Working Group # 9 - Recommendations Audio file types for CAP EAS messaging • The Working Group agreed on a recommendation for ECIG to update their implementation guide to specify of file/MIME types to MP3 audio file only for EAS broadcast. • We further agreed on a recommendation that, if amending the standards incorporated by reference represents a substantive change to a rule section in Title 47 CFR Part 11, the FCC should undertake its notice and comment rulemaking proceeding prior to implementing the change. (or) • Short of an additional rule change, we recommend that the FCC should clarify whether the FEMA concurrence memorandum suffices as guidance documentation, without further rules.

  10. Working Group # 9 – Best Practices • Best Practices • The FEMA aggregator should inspect for “non-conforming” audio mime types in EAS message. • Origination developers should be strongly encouraged to subject their systems to the existing FEMA conformity assessment for originators, to ensure proper conformance to the audio file specification.

  11. Working Group # 9 - Next Steps • WG 9-1 CAP Post June 30 • WG 9-2 Discussion Items • Discuss open items from 3rd & 5th R&O
