The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Service Identity in TLS' (draft-ietf-uta-rfc6125bis-15.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Using TLS in Applications Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Murray Kucherawy, Paul Wouters and Francesca Palombini. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-uta-rfc6125bis/ Technical Summary Many application technologies enable secure communication between two entities by means of Transport Layer Security (TLS) with Internet Public Key Infrastructure Using X.509 (PKIX) certificates. This document specifies procedures for representing and verifying the identity of application services in such interactions. This document obsoletes RFC 6125. Working Group Summary There was broad consensus and positive feedback. The only thing worth mentioning was an issue on IDNA2008 vs UTS-46 that was raised. Chairs ran a call for consensus and concluded that the working group had no consensus to profile or elaborate in great detail on the differences between IDNA2008 and UTS-46. Document Quality As it is a bis document with advise, implementations out there (hopefully) used the help from this document. The document provides further clarifications and help for applications with proper verification of TLS server certificates. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Orie Steele. The Responsible Area Director is Paul Wouters. _______________________________________________ Uta mailing list Uta@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/uta
