The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME) Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) Node ID Validation Extension' (draft-ietf-acme-dtnnodeid-18.txt) as Experimental RFC
This document is the product of the Automated Certificate Management Environment 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-acme-dtnnodeid/ Technical Summary This document specifies an extension to the Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol which allows an ACME server to validate the Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) Node ID for an ACME client. The DTN Node ID is encoded as a certificate Subject Alternative Name (SAN) of type otherName with a name form of BundleEID and as an ACME Identifier type "bundleEID". Working Group Summary This document was developed in support of work in the DTN WG. This draft was originally in IESG review as Experimental in 2021. It was eventually returned to the working group in early 2024 to wait for referenced specifications in DTN WG to be stable. Now, in 2025, all the normative specifications have been completed in the DTN WG. There is concensus within the ACME WG for this draft. Document Quality There aren't any known implementations of this mechanism as of yet. As the document points out: | The emergent properties of DTN naming and BP security are still | being developed and explored, especially between different | organizational and administrative domains, so the | "experimental" status of this document is related more to the | practical utility of this kind of Node ID validation than to | the validation method itself. Personnel Yoav Nir is the document shepherd. Deb Cooley is the responsible Area Director. _______________________________________________ Acme mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
