A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6277 Title: Online Certificate Status Protocol Algorithm Agility Author: S. Santesson, P. Hallam-Baker Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: June 2011 Mailbox: sts at aaa-sec.com, hallam at gmail.com Pages: 11 Characters: 21682 Updates: RFC2560 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-pkix-ocspagility-10.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6277.txt The Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) requires server responses to be signed but does not specify a mechanism for selecting the signature algorithm to be used. This may lead to avoidable interoperability failures in contexts where multiple signature algorithms are in use. This document specifies rules for server signature algorithm selection and an extension that allows a client to advise a server that specific signature algorithms are supported. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document is a product of the Public-Key Infrastructure (X.509) Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
