The Secure Shell (SSH) Public Key Subsystem protocol defines a key
distribution protocol that is limited to provisioning an SSH server with a
user's public keys. This document describes a new protocol that builds on
the protocol defined in RFC 4819 to allow the provisioning of keys and
certificates to a server using the SSH transport.
The new protocol allows the calling client to organize
keys and certificates in different namespaces on a server. These
namespaces can be used by the server to allow a client to configure
any application running on the server (e.g., SSH, Key Management
Interoperability Protocol (KMIP), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)).
The new protocol provides a server-independent mechanism for clients
to add public keys, remove public keys, add certificates, remove
certificates, and list the current set of keys and certificates known by
the server by namespace (e.g., list all public keys in the SSH
namespace).
Rights to manage keys and certificates in a particular namespace are
specific and limited to the authorized user and are defined as part of
the server's implementation. The described protocol is backward
compatible to version 2 defined by RFC 4819.
