The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Symmetric Key Package Content Type ' <draft-ietf-keyprov-symmetrickeyformat-11.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-symmetrickeyformat-11.txt Technical Summary This document provides the ASN.1 variant of the Portable Symmetric Key Container (PSKC), which is defined using XML in draft-ietf-keyprov-pskc-05. The symmetric key container defines a transport independent mechanism for one or more symmetric keys as well as any associated attributes. The container by itself is insecure; it can be secured using either the Dynamic Symmetric Key Provisioning Protocol (DSKPP) [draft-ietf-keyprov-dskpp] or a CMS protecting content types [RFC5652]. In addition to the key container, this document also defines ASN.1 version of the XML elements and attributes defined in PSKC. Working Group Summary The WG agreed that this container would be the optional container, but there was a contingent (both in the WG and in the IEEE) that wanted the ASN.1 container. The format for the container has been stable since version -02. The ASN.1 converted XML elements and attributes were added in the last version to ensure alignment with PSKC. Document Quality The document is a product of the KEYPROV working group. The text of this document is derived from the XML elements and attributes defined in draft-ietf-keyprov-pskc. As such, this document represents the ASN.1 based version of the XML-based counterpart. Personnel Hannes Tschofenig is the document shepherd for this document. Tim Polk is the Responsible Area Director. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
