Yes, exactly. It is utilized by most (if not all) of the CAs I’m aware of.

Based on CMPs complexity? That was the reason to mention the LTE profile. Not 
as a transport for CMP but rather as example how to streamline CMP to the 
functionality needed. 

Or was it based on the timeline for the BRSKI document?
