Yes - The OPSDIR review noted my took quick to submit. It’s fixed in this version: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lamps-5480-ku-clarifications/ >> If the keyUsage extension is present in a certificate that indicates >> id-ecDH or id-ecMQV in SubjectPublicKeyInfo, then the following >> values also MUST NOT be present: >> >> Is it a fact that all certificates with these three algorithms are >> certificates for key agreement?

To address this, I ended up making the following tweaks in s1: This document corrects this omission, by updating Section 3 of [RFC5480] to make it clear that neither keyEncipherment nor the dataEncipherment key usage bits are set for key agreement algorithms defined therein. The additions are to be made to the end of Section 3. So, there’s a link from 5480 s3 where the three algorithms are defined to this document’s s3. spt >> Dale >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Gen-art mailing list >> Gen-art@xxxxxxxx >> https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/gen-art > -- last-call mailing list last-call@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/last-call
