The IESG has received a request from the Keying and Authentication for Routing Protocols WG (karp) to consider the following document: - 'Database of Long-Lived Symmetric Cryptographic Keys' <draft-ietf-karp-crypto-key-table-07.txt> as Proposed Standard
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 [email protected] mailing lists by 2013-04-29. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies the information contained in a conceptual database of long-lived cryptographic keys used by many different security protocols. The database is designed to support both manual and automated key management. In addition to describing the schema for the database, this document describes the operations that can be performed on the database as well as the requirements for the security protocols that wish to use the database. In many typical scenarios, the security protocols do not directly use the long-lived key, but rather a key derivation function is used to derive a short- lived key from a long-lived key. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-karp-crypto-key-table/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-karp-crypto-key-table/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
