The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Standard PKC Test Keys' (draft-gutmann-testkeys-05.txt) as Informational RFC
This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Paul Wouters. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gutmann-testkeys/ Technical Summary This document provides a set of standard PKC test keys that may be used wherever pre-generated keys and associated operations like digitial signatures are required. Like the EICAR virus test and GTUBE spam test files, these publicly-known test keys can be detected and recognised by applications consuming them as being purely for testing purposes without assigning any security properties to them. Working Group Summary This draft is AD sponsored by Paul Wouters, but he requested discussion on the saag list which showed broad community support. Document Quality The document is short and concise, listing testing keys in a useful format. It has been validated by Melinda Shore as part of her SecDir review. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Paul Wouters. The Responsible Area Director is Paul Wouters. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
