RFC 8739 Title: Support for Short-Term, Automatically Renewed (STAR) Certificates in the Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME) Author: Y. Sheffer, D. Lopez, O. Gonzalez de Dios, A. Pastor Perales, T. Fossati Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: March 2020 Mailbox: yaronf.ietf@gmail.com, diego.r.lopez@telefonica.com, oscar.gonzalezdedios@telefonica.com, antonio.pastorperales@telefonica.com, thomas.fossati@arm.com Pages: 22 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-acme-star-11.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8739 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8739 Public key certificates need to be revoked when they are compromised, that is, when the associated private key is exposed to an unauthorized entity. However, the revocation process is often unreliable. An alternative to revocation is issuing a sequence of certificates, each with a short validity period, and terminating the sequence upon compromise. This memo proposes an Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME) extension to enable the issuance of Short-Term, Automatically Renewed (STAR) X.509 certificates. This document is a product of the Automated Certificate Management Environment Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. This announcement is sent to the IETF-Announce and rfc-dist lists.
