[Id-event] RFC 9493 - Errata

[Yaron Sheffer <[e-mail]>]

Hi Roman,

 

We seem to have consensus that the errata [1] should be marked “verified”. Since the SecEvent WG is concluded, you get the honor of resolving the errata per the IESG statement [2].

 

Also, there is precedent to IANA acting on verified errata [3], so we should be fine.

 

Thanks, and Happy Holidays!

This does seem like an error and should be fixed.

Hi Yaron,

I was referring to the use of the term "Security Event Identifier Formats Repository" in the rest of the document. The errata has been updated to reflect this now.

Hi Atul,

 

Back to your original mail, “there are a few more changes that will flow from there, if this is considered to be an error.” Could you say what these changes are, so we can deal with this all in one go?

 

Thanks,

                Yaron

Subject: Re: [Id-event] RFC 9493 on Subject Identifiers for Security Event Tokens

 

Hi Yaron,

I believe it is an error, because what is described in the RFC is not "Security Event Identifiers", they are "Subject Identifiers" within Security Event Tokens.

 

I agree that the content of the registry matters more, but I am writing a draft that relies on this RFC and this registry in particular. It uses the same Subject Identifier formats, but not within SETs, and the API I'm defining in my draft has nothing to do with Security Events. Therefore it becomes confusing to the readers of my draft to be referencing an IANA registry named "Security Event Identifier Format Registry".

 

I've filed an errata now: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid7727. I'm happy to discuss with the WG.

 

Thanks,

Atul

Hi Atul,

 

I am personally on the fence here because the original context is identifiers used in security events. See the RFC’s Introduction, where we start with security events and then slowly broaden the scope. However, if you think this is in error and should be fixed, feel free to file an errata [1] and we will discuss it.

 

Ultimately what counts is the IANA registry [2] and whether it is comprehensible and useful.

 

Thanks,

                Yaron

Thanks Yaron,

 

I think I discovered an issue with the spec, just as I was trying to refer to it:

 

Section 8.1 is named "Security Event Identifier Formats Registry". Should it be named "Subject Identifier Formats Registry"? There are a few more changes that will flow from there, if this is considered to be an error.

DOI: 10.17487/RFC9493


Security events communicated within Security Event Tokens may support
a variety of identifiers to identify subjects related to the event.
This specification formalizes the notion of Subject Identifiers as
structured information that describes a subject and named formats
that define the syntax and semantics for encoding Subject Identifiers
as JSON objects. It also establishes a registry for defining and
allocating names for such formats as well as the JSON Web Token (JWT)
"sub_id" Claim.


This document is a product of the Security Events 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 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards>) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
