Abstract:
This document specifies a new certificate type for exchanging raw
public keys in Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Datagram Transport
Layer Security (DTLS) for use with out-of-band public key validation.
Currently, TLS authentication can only occur via X.509-based Public
Key Infrastructure (PKI) or OpenPGP certificates. By specifying a
minimum resource for raw public key exchange, implementations can use
alternative public key validation methods.
One such alternative public key valiation method is offered by the
DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) together with DNS
Security. Another alternative is to utilize pre-configured keys, as
is the case with sensors and other embedded devices. The usage of
raw public keys, instead of X.509-based certificates, leads to a
smaller code footprint.
This document introduces the support for raw public keys in TLS.
