The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Textual Encodings of PKIX, PKCS, and CMS Structures' <draft-josefsson-pkix-textual-07.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2014-12-01. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes and discusses the textual encodings of the Public-Key Infrastructure X.509 (PKIX), Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS), and Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS). The textual encodings are well-known, are implemented by several applications and libraries, and are widely deployed. This document is intended to articulate the de-facto rules that existing implementations operate by, and to give recommendations that will promote interoperability. Other Issues The draft makes two downward references: - RFC 2315: PKCS #7: Cryptographic Message Syntax Version 1.5 - RFC 2986: PKCS #10: Certification Request Syntax Specification Version 1.7 Both are already in the DownRef registry. There is a normative reference to RFC 5208, which is obsolete. Will fix in -08 The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-josefsson-pkix-textual/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-josefsson-pkix-textual/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
