Re: [Iot-onboarding] [Anima] Device Certificate Deployment Automation with ACME using BRSKI

[Kent Watsen <[e-mail]>]

Skimming quickly, I see now the direction to go to a cloud registrar to be redirected to a local registrar.  I feel compelled to point out that this is exactly what SZTP (RFC 8572) does, or at least, supports.  Actually, as a more general statement, it was originally said that the two WG's approaches were different, but they are now becoming more and more alike.  Well, since SZTP is published already, it's more like the ANIMA approach is becoming more like SZTP, albeit seemingly with more complexity.

Regarding ACME integration during bootstrap, I think the basic desire is to configure a device to obtain a certificate via ACME, configuration which so happens to be provided at the time of the bootstrap event, but could also happen at anytime thereafter.   Support for such configuration should be added to https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-keystore <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-keystore>.

The fact that the RA (whether cloud or local) *may* use ACME to talk to the CA is transparent to the pledge.
