Folks, RFC 5208 has been published as an Informational RFC with the intent to transfer change control for PKCS #8 to the IETF and subsequently bring it to the Standards Track. draft-turner-asymmetrickeyformat, in the current -02 version aims at Standards Track and Updating RFC 5208, while keeping that RFC as a Normative Reference. That does not seem to be a viable option. Given that, stripped off boilerplate text, authors' information, and References, the whole prose text of RFC 5208 amounts to only roughly four (4) pages, whereas the draft already exceeds that volume by a factor of two, I strongly suggest to re-write the draft as a full replacement for RFC 5208, thereby bringing it onto the Standards Track, as 'promised' by the IESG Note in RFC 5208. Kind regards, Alfred Hönes. -- +------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ | TR-Sys Alfred Hoenes | Alfred Hoenes Dipl.-Math., Dipl.-Phys. | | Gerlinger Strasse 12 | Phone: (+49)7156/9635-0, Fax: -18 | | D-71254 Ditzingen | E-Mail: ah@TR-Sys.de | +------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
