The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Secure Shell Public-Key Subsystem ' <draft-ietf-secsh-publickey-subsystem-08.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Secure Shell Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Sam Hartman and Russ Housley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-secsh-publickey-subsystem-08.txt Technical Summary Secure Shell defines an authentication mechanism that is based on public keys, but does not define any mechanism for key distribution. No common key management solution exists in current implementations. This document describes a protocol that can be used to configure public keys in an implementation-independent fashion, allowing client software to take on the burden of this configuration. Working Group Summary The secsh working group had consensus to publish this document. Protocol Quality This document was reviewed for the IESG by Sam Hartman. IANA Note The IANA considerations section has been updated since IESG approval in order to better describe the titles of the registries created. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
