Title : Trust Anchor Management Problem Statement
Author(s) : R. Reddy, C. Wallace
Filename : draft-wallace-ta-mgmt-problem-statement-00.txt
Pages : 10
Date : 2007-5-25
This document provides a problem statement for the Trust Anchor
Management Birds of a Feather (BOF). Trust anchors are trusted
public keys, and associated information, that are used to verify
digital signatures on a variety of objects including public key
certificates, certificate management protocol exchanges and firmware
packages. At present, there exists no standards-based protocol for
distributing and managing trust anchors. This document describes
some of the problems associated with the lack of a standards-based
trust anchor management mechanism as well as problems that must be
addressed by such a mechanism.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
