I oppose adoption.

 

IETF in the past has come up with SCEP, CMP, CMC and EST, all of them for the 
most part doing the same thing with minor differences. I don’t think we need 
two enrollment protocols to run over COAP. We should not repeat mistakes of the 
past. 

 

In ACE we have EST-coaps which is done. We worked on it because EST was in IEC 
62351 and we needed a solution for some COAP usecases. Since then EST-coaps has 
been picked up by Fairhair and Thread. 

 

The argument about L7 protection in CMPv2 could also be satisfied by 
draft-selander-ace-coap-est-oscore. draft-selander-ace-coap-est-oscore was 
trying to secure EST over L7 encrypted COSE messages. 

 

Additionally, I would argue that L7 proof-of-identity is not a strong advantage 
in an (L)RA trust model for both EST-coaps and CMPv2-coaps. What is more, 
having the CA trust all potential manufacturer roots in order to do L7 proof of 
identity will not be trivial unless the CA is a private one. And in a private 
CA and (L)RA scenario I don’t know that end-to-end proof or identity is that 
important. 

 

I oppose adoption unless there is a compelling reason why. Also I am not sure 
where this draft would be implemented and used. If this is just for one or two 
vendors I don’t think ACE needs to spend the cycles. 

 

Thanks,

Panos

Subject: [Ace] Call for adoption draft-msahni-ace-cmpv2-coap-transport-01

 

Hello Ace WG,

I am presenting the draft-msahni-ace-cmpv2-coap-transport-01 to be adopted by 
ACE WG. This document supplements the "Lightweight CMP Profile" draft 
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-brockhaus-lamps-lightweight-cmp-profile-03) 
which specify the modifications to the CMPv2 protocol for it to be used 
efficiently by the constrained devices for PKI operations. 

 

I discussed this draft in IETF-108 ACE session and the need for the recharter 
of ACE WG in order to adopt this draft, to which we had a consensus. Please 
state your opinion on whether this draft should be adopted by ACE WG. 

 

Link to the draft 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-msahni-ace-cmpv2-coap-transport/ 

 

Regards,

Mohit Sahni
