The IESG has approved the following document: - 'SSH Agent Protocol' (draft-ietf-sshm-ssh-agent-16.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Secure Shell Maintenance 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-sshm-ssh-agent/ Technical Summary Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol for secure remote connections and login over untrusted networks. It supports multiple authentication mechanisms, including public key authentication. This document describes the protocol for interacting with a key management compoonent, usually referred to as "an agent", that holds private keys. SSH clients (and possibly SSH servers) can invoke the agent via this protocol to perform operations using public and private keys held in the agent. Working Group Summary There was broad agreement, no threats of appeal. Document Quality There are a number of existing implementations, to name a few: OpenSSH, PuTTY, Dropbear, Paramiko, and Go ssh/agent. No Yang, Media types registration or any other expert reviews required. One downref to RFC 8032 - which is listed in the DOWNREF registry. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Job Snijders. The Responsible Area Director is Deb Cooley. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
