   This document specifies a new TLS certificate type for exchanging raw
   public keys in Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Datagram Transport
   Layer Security (DTLS) for use with out-of-band authentication.
   Currently, TLS authentication can only occur via PKIX or OpenPGP
   certificates.  By specifying a minimum resource for raw public key
   exchange, implementations can use alternative authentication methods.

   One such method is using DANE Resource Records secured by DNSSEC,
   Another use case is to provide authentication functionality when used
   with devices in a constrained environment that use whitelists and
   blacklists, as is the case with sensors and other embedded devices
   that are constrained by memory, computational, and communication
   limitations where the usage of PKIX is not feasible.

   The new certificate type specified can also be used to reduce the
   latency of a TLS client that is already in possession of a validated
   public key of the TLS server before it starts a (non-resumed) TLS
   handshake.
