The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Dynamic Symmetric Key Provisioning Protocol (DSKPP)' <draft-ietf-keyprov-dskpp-14.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: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-keyprov-dskpp/ Technical Summary DSKPP is a client-server protocol for initialization (and configuration) of symmetric keys to locally and remotely accessible cryptographic modules. The protocol can be run with or without private-key capabilities in the cryptographic modules, and with or without an established public-key infrastructure. Two variations of the protocol support multiple usage scenarios. With the four-pass variant, keys are mutually generated by the provisioning server and cryptographic module; provisioned keys are not transferred over-the-wire or over-the-air. The two-pass variant enables secure and efficient download and installation of pre- generated symmetric keys to a cryptographic module. Working Group Summary I would note that we seem to have had more discussion of issues connected with XML style and semantics than on the problem. In particular there does not seem to be a perfect answer to the problem of how to manage versioning of XML protocols. Media type review was initiated 4/22 by the AD. Document Quality The document is a product of the KEYPROV working group. Personnel Document Shepherd is Phillip Hallam-Baker. Tim Polk is the responsible AD. RFC Editor Note Note that RFC 2781 should be an informative reference; normative reference should be ISO 10646 Reference as written in RFC 2781. [ISO-10646] ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993. International Standard -- Information technology -- Universal Multiple-Octet Coded Character Set (UCS) -- Part 1: Architecture and Basic Multilingual Plane. 22 amendments and two technical corrigenda have been published up to now. UTF-16 is described in Annex Q, published as Amendment 1. Many other amendments are currently at various stages of standardization. A second edition is in preparation, probably to be published in 2000; in this new edition, UTF-16 will probably be described in Annex C. Probably should refer to ISO 10646:2003??? _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
