Abstract:
The Secure Shell Public Key Subsystem protocol defines a key distribution
protocol to provision an SSH server with user's public keys. However,
that protocol is limited to provisioning an SSH server. This document
describes a new protocol that builds on the protocol defined in RFC 4819
to allow the provisioning of keys and certificates to a server using the
SSH transport.
The new protocol allows the calling client to organize
keys and certificates in different namespaces on a server. These
namespaces can be used by the server to allow a client to configure
any application running on the server (e.g., SSH, KMIP, SNMP).
The new protocol provides a server-independent mechanism for clients
to add public keys, remove public keys, add certificates, remove
certificates, and list the current set of keys and certificates known by
the server by namespace (e.g., list all public keys in the SSH
namespace).
Rights to manage keys and certificates in a specific namespace are
specific and limited to the authorized user and are defined as part of
the server's implementation. The described protocol is backward
compatible to version 2 defined by RFC 4819.
