The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A Protocol for Provisioning Resource Certificates' (draft-ietf-sidr-rescerts-provisioning-11.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Secure Inter-Domain Routing Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Stewart Bryant and Adrian Farrel. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidr-rescerts-provisioning/ Technical Summary This document defines a framework for certificate management interactions between a resource issuer ("Issuer") and a resource recipient ("Subject") through the specification of a protocol for interaction between the two parties. The protocol supports the transmission of requests from the Subject, and corresponding responses from the Issuer encompassing the actions of certificate issuance, certificate revocation and certificate status information reports. This protocol is intended to be limited to the application of resource certificate management and is not intended to be used as part of a more general certificate management framework. Working Group Summary The working group progress with this draft has been smooth. The most contentious issue related to the use of TLS in the protocol. While the use of TLS seemed to be a generally good idea, the operational difficulties reported by users and implementers and the lack of any clear benefit from TLS convinced the working group to remove it from the protocol. Document Quality The document is well written and clear. There are independent implementations of this protocol and planned implementations, not by vendors but by RIRs who are the critical deployment points of this protocol. Personnel Sandra Murphy is the Document Shepherd for this document. Stewart Bryant is the Responsible Area Director.
