The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Asymmetric Key Packages ' <draft-turner-asymmetrickeyformat-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Tim Polk. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-turner-asymmetrickeyformat-05.txt Technical Summary This document defines the syntax for private key information. This document obsoletes RFC 5208. Changes from RFC 5208 include: defining a CMS content type, adding public key to structure (v2 if included), adding local storage considerations. The document includes downrefs to NEWPKIXASN and NEWSMIMEASN. These Informational RFCs have been added to Downref Registry based on Last Calls eralier in 2010. Working Group Summary This document is not the product of an IETF Working Group. Document Quality The document is of the same quality as RFC 5208. Personnel Carl Wallace is the document Shepherd. Tim Polk is the responsible Security Area AD. RFC Editor Note Please make the following 13 changes: 1) Section 2 OLD: Earlier versions of this specification [RFC5208] did not specify a particular encoding rule set, but generators SHOULD use DER [X.690] and receivers SHOULD be prepared to handle BER [X.690] and DER [X.690]. NEW: Earlier versions of this specification [RFC5208] did not specify a particular encoding rule set, but generators SHOULD use DER [X.690] and receivers MUST support BER [X.690], which also includes DER [X.690]. 2) Section 2 OLD: Version ::= INTEGER { v1(0), v2(1) } (v1, ..., v2, ... ) NEW: Version ::= INTEGER { v1(0), v2(1) } (v1, ..., v2) 3) Section 3 OLD: This section gives the syntax for encrypted private-key information, which is used with [P12]. NEW: This section gives the syntax for encrypted private-key information, which is used by [P12]. 4) Section 3 OLD: Generators SHOULD use DER [X.690] and receivers SHOULD be prepared to handle BER [X.690] and DER [X.690] NEW: Generators SHOULD use DER [X.690] and receivers MUST support BER [X.690], which also includes and DER [X.690]. 5) Section 5 OLD: PEM encoding is either the Base64 encoding of the DER encoded EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo sandwiched between: NEW: PEM encoding is either the Base64 encoding, from Section 4 of [RFC4648], of the DER encoded EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo sandwiched between: 6) Section 5 OLD: or the Base64 encoding of the DER encoded PrivateKeyInfo sandwiched between: NEW: or the Base64 encoding, see Section 4 of [RFC4648], of the DER encoded PrivateKeyInfo sandwiched between: 7) Section 7 OLD: This specification also defines a new media type that IANA is requested to add to the registry at: NEW: This document makes use of object identifiers to identify a CMS content type and the ASN.1 module found in Appendix A. The CMS content type OID is registered in a DoD arc. The ASN.1 module OID is registered in an arc delegated by RSADSI to the SMIME Working Group. No further action by IANA is necessary for this document or any anticipated updates. This specification also defines a new media subtype that IANA is requested to add to the registry at: 8) Section 7.1 OLD: 7.1. Registration of media type application/pkcs8 To: ietf-types@iana.org Subject: Registration of media type application/pkcs8 Type name: application NEW: 7.1. Registration of media subtype application/pkcs8 Type name: application 9) Section 7.1 OLD: Security considerations: Carries a cryptographic private key. New: Security considerations: Carries a cryptographic private key. See Section 6. 10) Section 7.1 OLD: Any MIME-compliant transport NEW: Any MIME-compliant transport that processes asymmetric keys. 11) Section 7.1 OLD: The IESG <iesg@ietf.org> NEW: The IESG 12) Appendix A OLD: CONTENT-TYPE FROM CryptographicMessageSyntax-2009 { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) modules(0) cms-2004-02(41) } -- From New PKIX ASN.1 [RFCTBD1] Attribute{}, ATTRIBUTE FROM PKIX-CommonTypes-2009 { iso(1) identified-organization(3) dod(6) internet(1) security(5) mechanisms(5) pkix(7) id-mod(0) id-mod-pkixCommon-02(57) } NEW: Attribute{}, CONTENT-TYPE FROM CryptographicMessageSyntax-2009 { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) modules(0) id-mod-cms-2004-02(41) } -- From New PKIX ASN.1 [RFCTBD1] ATTRIBUTE FROM PKIX-CommonTypes-2009 { iso(1) identified-organization(3) dod(6) internet(1) security(5) mechanisms(5) pkix(7) id-mod(0) id-mod-pkixCommon-02(57) } 13) Appendix A OLD: Version ::= INTEGER { v1(0), v2(1) } (v1, ..., v2, ... ) NEW: Version ::= INTEGER { v1(0), v2(1) } (v1, ..., v2) _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
