SZTP does not directly result in the same mutually authenticated TLS (EST)
connection to a Registrar that BRSKI does.  This was not an explicit SZTP goal.

What it could do though, is to provide a source of (secure) bootstrap
configuration in which such a connection could be initiated.  In my mind,
I see a fragment of signed JUNOS, IOS (CISCO, not Apple), etc. CLI
configuration that initiates the connection. Such a thing would not be
standardized.
But, I would think that this is exactly the kind of thing that could
be encoded in YANG.

My understanding of https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-keystore
is that it would provided for Registrar initiated (PUSH) updating of device
certificates, but would not provide a way for a device to initiate (PULL) to
a securely identified EST server.
