The IESG has approved the following document: - 'X.509 Extended Key Usage (EKU) for configuration, updates and safety- communication' (draft-ietf-lamps-automation-keyusages-08.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Limited Additional Mechanisms for PKIX and SMIME Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Paul Wouters and Deb Cooley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lamps-automation-keyusages/ Technical Summary RFC 5280 specifies several extended key purpose identifiers (KeyPurposeIds) for X.509 certificates. This document defines KeyPurposeIds for general-purpose and trust anchor configuration files, for software and firmware update packages, and for safety- critical communication to be included in the Extended Key Usage (EKU) extension of X.509 v3 public key certificates used by industrial automation and the Europe's Rail Joint Undertaking (ERJU) System Pillar. Working Group Summary There is support for this document in the LAMPS WG. Some people originally thought that this document was needed by too few implementers to become an RFC, but after a fair amount of discussion, there was consensus to go forward when it became clear that more than one vendor would likely need these key usage values. Document Quality ASN.1 is used. It compiles without errors after inserting placeholder values for the ones that need to be assigned by IANA. It is clear that there will be implementations. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Russ Housley. The Responsible Area Director is Deb Cooley. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
