Re: [Spasm] Updated draft-melnikov-spasm-eai-addresses

Hi Sean,

Sure, ITU-T will cooperate.

We have a little timing problem, but that should not stop us.

The eight edition of X.509  is due to approval at the ITU-T SG17 meeting in
September. It has features we need for Smart Grid security now. I cannot get
any new technical changes in right now. I can issue a defect report after
publication and in this way make it part of the eight edition. This should
not stop us from developing the solution within spasm and then later move it
into X.509.

The issue on breaking current implementations should be resolved.

Kind regards.

Erik

Hi Erik,

I actually advocated for exactly that, but pointed out it will require ITU-T
cooperation. Is ITU-T willing to cooperate? :)

The other issue is that it will break software that was compiled with
"pre-ellipsis technology". This likely includes most flavors of Windows up
through and including Windows 10. It's also possible that software will
choke but will return a successful partial decode of GeneralName productions
prior to the [9] one, in which case, the proposal is doable as long as [9]
is the last GeneralName. (Conveniently, it is likely that [9] will get
sorted to the end in DER, which might save us.)

It would be good to do a comprehensive survey; I have not actually done any
testing.

Regards,

Sean

Hi,

I wonder why you did not add a new component to the GeneralName data type as
shown below. Processing will be easier and you do not have to defined a
(long) IETF OID.

GeneralName ::= CHOICE {

  otherName                  [0]  INSTANCE OF OTHER-NAME,

  rfc822Name                 [1]  IA5String,

  directoryName              [4]  Name,

  ediPartyName               [5]  EDIPartyName,

  iPAddress                  [7]  OCTET STRING,

  registeredID               [8]  OBJECT IDENTIFIER,

  ...,

  smtputf8Name name          [9]  UTF8String (SIZE (1..MAX))
