Abstract

The EST (Enrollment over Secure Transport) protocol defined a Well-
Known URI (Uniform Resource Identifier): /.well-known/est. EST also
defined several path components that clients use for PKI (Public Key
Infrastructure) services, namely certificate enrollment (e.g.,
/simpleenroll). In some sense, the services provided by the path
components can be thought of as PKI management-related packages.
There are additional PKI-related packages a client might need as well
as other security-related packages, such as firmware, trust anchors,
and symmetric, asymmetric, and encrypted keys. This document also
specifies the PAL (Package Availability List), which is an XML
(Extensible Markup Language) file or JSON (Javascript Object
Notation) object that clients use to retrieve packages available and
authorized for them. This document extends the EST server path
components to provide these additional services.
