The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Using Server-based Certificate Validation Protocol (SCVP) to Convey Long-term Evidence Records ' <draft-ietf-ltans-ers-scvp-07.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Long-Term Archive and Notary Services Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Tim Polk and Pasi Eronen. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ltans-ers-scvp-07.txt Technical Summary The Simple Certificate Validation Protocol (SCVP) defines an extensible means of delegating the development and validation of certification paths to a server. It can be used to support the development and validation of certification paths well after the expiration of the certificates in the path by specifying a time of interest in the past. The Evidence Record Syntax (ERS) defines structures, called evidence records, to support non-repudiation of existence of data. Evidence records can be used to preserve materials that comprise a certification path such that trust in the certificates can be established after the expiration of the certificates in the path and after the cryptographic algorithms used to sign the certificates in the path are no longer secure. This document describes an application of SCVP to serve this purpose using the WantBack feature of SCVP to convey evidence records. Working Group Summary This document is a product of the LTANS working group. This document reflects the rough consensus of the working and passed through the working group without notable controversies. Document Quality One implementation of the protocol is known. An open source initiative to implement LTANS specifications appears to have stalled. No other implementation plans have been announced. Personnel Tobias Gondrom is the document shepherd for this document. Tim Polk reviewed this for the IESG. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
