Re: [KEYPROV] Status and Next Steps

Hi Phillip, 

this is indeed great news!

There is one document on PSKC algorithm profiles that would need to get finished. Here is the current version: 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hoyer-keyprov-pskc-algorithm-profiles/

In  a chat with Anders we were also wondering whether a JSON encoding of PSKC would be useful. This would allow us easier integration with JavaScript into the browser. 

The first document does not necessarily need to go through a working group; it could also be an AD sponsored document or directly sent to the RFC Editor. The second document obviously does not yet exist. 

Regarding interoperability: I am actually always in favor of doing interoperability testing (in a lightweight fashion -- potentially over the Internet with some test cases we go through). It would be interesting to know where we are with regard to running code.

Ciao
Hannes

If there is a move to a two step process I think it more likely that completing the IETF process and being promoted to STANDARD will become an expectation.
