- The PEM WG met twice during the San Diego IETF meeting
- 3/16-20. The written comments provided John Linn (and distributed to
- the PEM-DEV list) were reviewed and adopted. Several other changes
- are being made to the specification based on additional written
- comments from Jeff Schiller, plus PEM-DEV messages regarding encoding
- of the signature as described at the end of Appendix A. One
- significant change deals with the CRL database which was to be
- maintained by the ICA. Now, each PCA will be responsible for
- publishing a mail address to which CRL queries can be sent, and
- another for CRL updates from CAs. It is the responsibility of the
- PCAs, working with the ICA, to provide access to the complete CRL
- database via these interfaces. details of the management of this
- database will not be part of the RFC, as this is exclusively a PCA-ICA
- interface issue. The description of the DN conflict detection
- database has been revised and the specification of the protocol for
- accessing this database will not appear as Appendix B, but rather will
- become a separate document.
-
- Generally the version of the document (1114E) distributed
- prior to the meeting was well received and the consensus is that it is
- almost ready for publication as an ID. A revised version of this
- document (1114F) will be distributed immediately after the IETF
- meeting, via the PEM-DEV mailing list. New versions of 1113 and 1115
- should be available very soon, and an updated version of FORMS
- (removing all the text not generally relevant to UAs) should be
- forthcoming as well. The current plan calls for publication of all
- four, updated documents as I-Ds as they become available, and then
- submission of all four as standards track RFCs.
