RE: [pkix] Last Call: <draft-ietf-pkix-rfc5280-clarifications-08.txt> (Updates to the Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Profile) to Proposed Standard

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A discussion has just started yesterday on the PKIX mailing list about an "Errata in section 5.3 from RFC 5280".

At this time it can clearly be seen that RFC 5280 is NOT compatible with X.509 for the processing of
crlEntryExtensions, whereas RFC 5280 is supposed to be a *profile* of X.509.

For that reason, I ask the IESG to suspend its decision until the issue about crlEntryExtensions is clarified
one way or another, since this point now needs to be clarified and will impact a document whose goal is precisely

to clarify RFC 5280.

The IESG has received a request from the Public-Key Infrastructure
(X.509) WG (pkix) to consider the following document:

 <draft-ietf-pkix-rfc5280-clarifications-08.txt> as Proposed Standard

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@xxxxxxxx mailing lists by 2012-09-05. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@xxxxxxxx instead. In either case, please retain the

Abstract


  This document updates RFC 5280, the Internet X.509 Public Key

  methods for the explicitText field of the user notice policy
  qualifier and clarifies the rules for converting internationalized
  domain name labels to ASCII.  This document also provides some
  clarifications on the use of self-signed certificates, trust anchors,
  and some updated security considerations.
