The IESG has received a request from the Autonomic Networking Integrated Model and Approach WG (anima) to consider the following document: - 'Voucher Profile for Bootstrapping Protocols' <draft-ietf-anima-voucher-05.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-10-12. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document defines a strategy to securely assign a pledge to an owner, using an artifact signed, directly or indirectly, by the pledge's manufacturer. This artifact is known as a "voucher". The voucher artifact is a YANG-defined JSON document that has (by default) been signed using a PKCS#7 structure. The voucher artifact is normally generated by the pledge's manufacturer or delegate (i.e. the Manufacturer Authorized Signing Authority). This document only defines the voucher artifact, leaving it to other documents to describe specialized protocols for accessing it. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-anima-voucher/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-anima-voucher/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
