The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Naming Things with Hashes' (draft-farrell-decade-ni-10.txt) as Proposed Standard This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Barry Leiba. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-farrell-decade-ni/ Technical Summary This document defines a set of ways to identify a thing using the output from a hash function, specifying URI, URL, binary and human "speakable" formats for these names. The various formats are designed to support, but not require, a strong link to the referenced object such that the referenced object may be authenticated to the same degree as the reference to it. Working Group Summary This is not a product of a WG and it never tried to become one. However it was discussed in DECADE, CORE, and WEBSEC. The CoAP base protocol will normatively reference this document. Document Quality There is at least one implementation of an earlier draft. It looks like this work might be applicable to multiple protocols (such as CoAP), so I think more implementations will come. It is also partially based on an unregistered magnet URI scheme, so there is desire in the community to implement something like this. Personnel Alexey Melnikov is the document shepherd. Barry Leiba is the Responsible AD.
