A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Secure Shell Public Key Channel

SECSH defines an authentication mechanism that is based on public
keys, but does not define any mechanism for key distribution.
No common key management solution exists in current implementations.
This document describes a channel that can be used to configure
public keys in an implementation-independent fashion, allowing
client software to take on the burden of this configuration.
The public key channel provides a server-independent mechanism
for clients to add public keys, remove public keys, and list
the current public keys known by the server. Rights to manage
public keys are specific and limited to the authenticated user.
A public key may also be associated with a mandatory command.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
