Re: [atoca] Call for submissions: Secure Alert Format

This sounds like a good path forward.

I believe that draft-barnes-atoca-escape-00 is a very rough first cut at 
a secure transport/delivery agnostic mechanism for authenticating 
CAP-formatted alerts.

Note that draft-barnes-atoca-escape-00 has a section devoted to open 
questions. If you have an answer to any of these questions, or 
additional questions not considered in the draft please send mail to the 
list. Also, if this is totally the wrong approach for authenticating CAP 
alerts, please send mail to the list.
