The IESG has received a request from the DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities WG (dane) to consider the following document: - 'Use Cases and Requirements for DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE)' <draft-ietf-dane-use-cases-04.txt> as an Informational RFC
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the i...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2011-07-19. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Many current applications use the certificate-based authentication features in TLS to allow clients to verify that a connected server properly represents a desired domain name. Traditionally, this authentication has been based on PKIX trust hierarchies, rooted in well-known CAs, but additional information can be provided via the DNS itself. This document describes a set of use cases in which the DNS and DNSSEC could be used to make assertions that support the TLS authentication process. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dane-use-cases/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dane-use-cases/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
