The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Using ED25519 in SSHFP Resource Records' <draft-moonesamy-sshfp-ed25519-01.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2014-05-29. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Ed25519 signature algorithm has been implemented in OpenSSH. This document updates the IANA "SSHFP RR Types for public key algorithms" registry by adding an algorithm number for Ed25519. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-moonesamy-sshfp-ed25519/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-moonesamy-sshfp-ed25519/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. Note that there is no current standardised format for the input to the hash function here, but there are two implementations of this so a codepoint is needed and useful. A standard public key format is likely to be developed in future (but could take some time) at which point it may make sense to assign another codepoint, but there are no issues with codepoint scarcity here so that seems like it will work given the implemeners seem ok with it, even if its not ideal.
