The EST (Enrollment over Secure Transport) protocol defines the
Well-Known URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) -- /.well-known/est --
along with a number of other path components that clients use for PKI
(Public Key Infrastructure) services, namely certificate enrollment
(e.g., /simpleenroll). This document defines a number of other PKI
services as additional path components -- specifically, firmware and
trust anchors as well as symmetric, asymmetric, and encrypted keys.
This document also specifies the PAL (Package Availability List),
which is an XML (Extensible Markup Language) file or JSON (JavaScript
Object Notation) object that clients use to retrieve packages
available and authorized for them. This document extends the EST
server path components to provide these additional services.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
