The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'BinaryTime: An alternate format for representing date and time in ASN.1 '
<draft-housley-binarytime-02.txt> as an Experimental RFC
This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an
IETF Working Group.
The IESG contact person is Steve Bellovin.
Technical Summary
This protocol provides a means to represent time in ASN.1 as an integral
number of seconds since the epoch (00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970). This avoids
the well-known problems with comparison of timestamps that are given with
respect to some particular timezone.
Protocol Quality
Steve Bellovin has reviewed this document for the IESG.
