What is the status of the OpenPGP draft?
IIRC, the latest draft has expired and is thus not anymore available
from the usual places.
it occurred to me that one of the barriers
is that OpenPGP is not a standard, whereas
x.509 is.
I just checked the rfc-index and both, OpenPGP (rfc2440) and X.509
PKIX profile (rfc3280), are in PROPOSED STANDARD status. You don't
want to call plain ISO X.509 a practically useful standard without
specifying a profile.
We talked about moving to DRAFT status since mid 1999 with no result
though. Derek, any new plans on moving forward?
