The IESG has approved the following document: - 'The application/pkcs10 Media Type ' <draft-turner-application-pkcs10-media-type-05.txt> as an Informational RFC 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-application-pkcs10-media-type-05.txt Technical Summary This document allows the IANA registration to point to an active document. The application/pkcs10 media type was originally part of S/MIMEv2 [RFC2311], which was not the product of an IETF WG, along with application/pkcs7-mime and application/pkcs7-signature. When the SMIME WG produced S/MIMEv3 [RFC2633], it did not include the application/pkcs10 text and unfortunately when PKCS#10 was published as RFC 2986 the application/pkcs10 text was not incorporated there . Recently, S/MIMEv3.2 was published and S/MIMEv2 was moved to historic. This means that the IANA registration no longer points to an active document. This document fills that role with text for application/pkcs10 adapted from RFC 2311 and an IANA registration request for application/pkcs10. Working Group Summary This document is not the product of an IETF Working Group. Document Quality The text for formation of the application/pkcs10 media type is adapted from RFC 2311. Only minor changes were made, as can be seen in the diffs between version -00 and -01. Personnel Russ Housley is the document Shepherd. Tim Polk is the responsible Security Area AD. RFC Editor Note In Section 2.1, please make the following substitution: OLD: When the media type application/pkcs10 is used, the body MUST be a CertificationRequest, encoded using the Basic Encoding Rules (BER) [X.690]. Although BER is specified, instead of the more restrictive Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) [X.690], a typical application will use DER since the CertificationRequest's CertificationRequestInfo has to be DER-encoded in order to be signed. A robust application SHOULD output DER, but allow BER or DER on input. NEW: When the media type application/pkcs10 is used, the body MUST be a CertificationRequest. A robust application SHOULD output DER, but allow BER or DER on input. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
