The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Portable Symmetric Key Container (PSKC) ' <draft-ietf-keyprov-pskc-09.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Provisioning of Symmetric Keys Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Tim Polk and Sean Turner. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-keyprov-pskc-09.txt Technical Summary This document specifies an XML-based key format for transport and provisioning of symmetric keys to different types of crypto modules. For example, One Time Password (OTP) shared secrets or symmetric cryptographic keys to strong authentication devices. A standard key transport format enables enterprises to deploy best-of-breed solutions combining components from different vendors into the same infrastructure. Working Group Summary There was consensus in the WG to publish the document. Document Quality The document is a product of the KEYPROV working group and the group has spend a fair amount of time working on this specification to ensure high quality output. Two independent implementations have been created by the document authors. A third implementation has been created by a student of Tim Polk. The code is, however, not available as open source. Media type review was initiated 4/22 by the AD. Personnel Hannes Tschofenig is the document shepherd for this document. Tim Polk is the responsible AD. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
