Hi Hannes,

To your comment:
A word about the process: Decisions about the directions the document take should be made on the mailing list rather than in private meetings. The chairs should be more strict about this.

Please note: CoRIM Meetings are NOT private meetings.

We advertise the details of CoRIM Weekly Meeting periodically and everyone following RATS are Welcome to join and participate in the discussions.

Regards,
Yogesh

Thanks for the quick response, Yogesh.

Two points:


  *   The reason why I believe that the trust anchor functionality should be part of CoRIM is that it is a core feature rather than an extension. I understand that there is some history about how these documents came into existence but this should not prevent us from doing the “right” thing.


  *   Using trust anchors under the umbrella of endorsements makes sense to me. This needs to be more clearly articulated in the documents though.

Hi Hannes,

To your question:

I am wondering why the two documents <draft-ietf-rats-corim> and <draft-ietf-rats-concise-ta-stores> aren’t merged.

The work on Cots started at different point in time (by different authors) and hence the CoRIM base document does refer Cots but is not fully integrated.

We will discuss the possibility and implications of such in our regular CoRIM meetings.

Regarding Trust Anchors as per RATS document (RFC 9334) to the best of my knowledge it comes under the heading of Endorsements.
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9334#name-endorsements

RATS treats Trust Anchors as a type of Endorsements.

Hope this information is helpful.

Regards,
Yogesh

Reading through the RATS drafts I often get the impression that trust anchors have somehow been forgotten and were added later, as an afterthought. The RATS architecture RFC does not list trust anchors as an item in Figure 1. In some other document trust anchors are then portrait as belonging to reference values – somehow. That does not feel right to me either.

I think it is completely wrong to consider trust anchors as Reference Values. Can you name the document which presents this view?
