Title : PKIX over Secure HTTP (POSH)
Authors : Matthew Miller
Peter Saint-Andre
Filename : draft-ietf-xmpp-posh-03.txt
Pages : 15
Date : 2015-01-26
Abstract:
Experience has shown that it is extremely difficult to deploy proper
PKIX certificates for TLS in multi-tenanted environments. As a
result, domains hosted in such environments often deploy applications
using certificates that identify the hosting service, not the hosted
domain. Such deployments force end users and peer services to accept
a certificate with an improper identifier, resulting in obvious
security implications. This document defines two methods that make
it easier to deploy certificates for proper server identity checking
in non-HTTP application protocols. While these methods developed for
use in the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) as a
Domain Name Association (DNA) prooftype, they might also be usable in
other non-HTTP application protocols.
