The IESG has approved the following documents: - 'Securely Available Credentials Protocol ' <draft-ietf-sacred-protocol-bss-09.txt> as a Proposed Standard - 'Securely Available Credentials - Credential Server Framework ' <draft-ietf-sacred-framework-07.txt> as an Informational RFC These documents are products of the Securely Available Credentials Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Steve Bellovin and Russ Housley. Technical Summary Certificates and other cryptographic credentials are ungainly things, not suitable to human memorization. While smart cards and the like are one possible solution, they're not widely deployed or used for general-purpose computing. The SACRED protocol permits remote storage and retrieval of such credentials. Working Group Summary There was working group consensus on this document. Protocol Quality This protocol was reviewed for the IESG by Steve Bellovin
