The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5425, "Transport Layer Security (TLS) Transport Mapping for Syslog".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=5425&eid=1733 -------------------------------------- Type: Editorial Reported by: Alfred Hoenes <[email protected]> Section: 4.2.1, pg.6 Original Text ------------- o End-entity certificate matching: The transport sender or receiver is configured with information necessary to identify the valid end-entity certificates of its authorized peers. The end-entity certificates can be self-signed, and no certification path validation is needed. Implementations MUST support certificate | fingerprints in Section 4.2.2 and MAY allow other formats for end-entity certificates such as a DER-encoded certificate. This method provides an alternative to a PKI that is simple to deploy and still maintains a reasonable level of security.
