Given that this document describes the IETF version of S/MIME, I think
*also* is the wrong word. The S/MIME v3 spec should define how to create
certification requests using the IETF Certificate Management Protocol,
period. PKCS #10-format requests are included as an option within CMP.
I agree -- since the alliance is expressly towards PKIX, then we should
do this.
If we just define the use of p10cr for the purpose of requesting a
certificate, would that be adequate for Diffie-Hellman and friends? Are
there any other ways of requesting that are useful to S/MIME that aren't
achievable using PKCS #10 in CMP?
