Re: [pkix] (it updates RFC 2585) New Version Notification for draft-seantek-certfrag-02.txt

[Sean Leonard <[e-mail]>]

By the way:

I wanted to point out that this certfrag draft is sliced out of a much 
larger proposal, which is ways to uniquely and securely identify 
certificates in text strings (i.e., URIs / URNs) for storage and 
interchange. This was not just a proposal out of thin air or whatever. 
To the extent that a certificate is uniquely identified, it is just as 
useful to identify a specific part of the certificate of interest.

The certfrag portion came out of draft-seantek-certspec-03. 
draft-seantek-certspec-04 refers to this draft (draft-seantek-certfrag).

Since draft-seantek-certspec-04, the URN proposal has hit some snags, 
mainly due to the glacially slow (and occasionally retrograde) progress 
of the URNBIS WG. Therefore I am pursuing a different line of attack 
with that one. I am hoping that we can at least see progress on some of 
these parts. My main fear is becoming that the apps people don't see the 
security angles, and vice-versa.
