The IESG has approved the following document: - 'An Attribute for Statement of Possession of a Private Key' (draft-ietf-lamps-private-key-stmt-attr-09.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Limited Additional Mechanisms for PKIX and SMIME Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Paul Wouters and Deb Cooley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lamps-private-key-stmt-attr/ Technical Summary This document specifies an attribute for a statement of possession of a private key by a certificate subject. As part of X.509 certificate enrollment, a Certification Authority (CA) typically demands proof that the subject possesses the private key that corresponds to the to-be-certified public key. In some cases, a CA might accept a signed statement from the certificate subject. For example, when a certificate subject needs separate certificates for signature and key establishment, a statement that can be validated with the previously issued signature certificate for the same subject might be adequate for subsequent issuance of the key establishment certificate. Working Group Summary There was broad agreement and little controversy. Document Quality There is ASN.1: The ASN.1 in the text was examined by eye, and the ASN.1 module in Appendix A was compiled. Downrefs which are already in the registry: RFC 2986, RFC 5912 Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Tim Hollebeek. The Responsible Area Director is Deb Cooley. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- ietf-announce@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to ietf-announce-le...@ietf.org
