Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP)
(http://www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs/iec/isoiec-dir2%7Bed6.0%7Den.pdf)
appears to be widely used and implemented although it is specified in an
old, expired Internet draft from 2011 that was never issued as an RFC.

 

Why was it never issued as an RFC and why should it not be on the standards
track? 

 

Kind regards,

 

Erik
