The following errata report has been submitted for RFC7935, "The Profile for Algorithms and Key Sizes for Use in the Resource Public Key Infrastructure".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5737 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Alberto Leiva Popper <[email protected]> Section: 3.1 Original Text ------------- algorithm (which is an AlgorithmIdentifier type): The object identifier for RSA PKCS #1 v1.5 with SHA-256 MUST be used in the algorithm field, as specified in Section 5 of [RFC4055]. The value for the associated parameters from that clause MUST also be used for the parameters field. Corrected Text -------------- algorithm (which is an AlgorithmIdentifier type): The object identifier for RSA (rsaEncryption) MUST be used for the algorithm field, as specified in Section 3.2 of [RFC3370]. The value for the associated parameters from that clause MUST also be used for the parameters field. Notes ----- The field described in the paragraph belongs to a public key. The way I understand it, particularly due to the inclusion of a digest, "RSA PKCS #1 v1.5 with SHA-256" (sha256WithRSAEncryption) is not really a public key algorithm identifier; it's a signature algorithm identifier. (Courtesy of Russ Housley) rsaEncryption also allows the public key to be used with PKCS#1 v1.5, RSASSA-PSS, and RSAES-OAEP. All existing RPKI readers and writers that I've seen, as well as the global RPKI repository certificates themselves, currently use rsaEncryption as the public key algorithm of subjectPublicKeyInfo. Therefore, this change should also reflect existing practice. Instructions: ------------- This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary. -------------------------------------- RFC7935 (draft-ietf-sidr-rfc6485bis-05) -------------------------------------- Title : The Profile for Algorithms and Key Sizes for Use in the Resource Public Key Infrastructure Publication Date : August 2016 Author(s) : G.
