Hi,

As part of the last few steps before again calling for last call for draft-ietf-netmod-syslog-model-14, we are adding certificate support to the signing-options container. RFC 5848: Signed Syslog Messages is the RFC that governs this section.

The signing-options container resides within the remote action destination list section of the model. This means signing-options will be configurable for each remote destination.

RFC 5848 supports four signature groups as defined in section 4.2.3 Signature Group and Signature Priority of the RFC:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5848#section-4.2.3

We are proposing to limit our support to Signature Group 0 which covers the case for administrators who want all messages of a syslog stream to be signed and Signature Blocks to be sent to a single destination.  We believe this case covers all deployment scenarios that are commonly encountered.  

Support for Signature Groups 1 (each PRI value is associated with its own Signature Group), 2 (each Signature Group contains a range of PRI values), and 3 (Signature Groups are negotiated through a private arrangement) could be added to the model later through augmentation.

Please let us know if you have any concerns about this.

Thanks,

Clyde
