[Spasm] certspec work (draft-seantek-certspec-06.txt)

[Sean Leonard <[e-mail]>]

Hello SPASM:

I would like to propose "certspec" as a work item for this WG, and that 
it be considered in-scope as we debate the WG's scope.

certspec is a string specification for certificates. It allows protocols 
and systems to identify a certificate in a textual form, and is designed 
with human usability in mind (specifically, copy-and-paste operations).

Previous versions of this draft tried to define certspec as a URN, and 
then as a series of URI schemes. Those approaches were not successful. 
This draft just calls it a string. You can look at the diffs 
(particularly the diff between 04 and 05) to see the differences.

Thanks to Russ Housley for feedback on the most recent versions of this 
draft.

Regards,

Sean

Abstract:
    Digital certificates are used in many systems and protocols to
    identify and authenticate parties.  This document describes a string
    format that identifies certificates, along with optional attributes.
    This string format has been engineered to work without re-encoding in
    a variety of protocol slots.
