Re: Discussing RTCS

Sean,

Does anyone have an opinion on bringing this to the working group?

This is a topic to be addressed by the PKIX WG, not by the SMIME WG.

The PKIX WG is attempting (but not always succeeding) to avoid duplication of protocols for the same topic.

We all know that it would have been better to use CMS for building the OCSP protocol, but this was not the case.

The advantages of this new protocol versus draft-ietf-pkix-ocspv2-ext-01.txt (Online Certificate Status Protocol, version 2) and the differences should be first explained.

Peter Gutmann has made an individual draft submission for his CMS-based
RTCS protocol.  A URL to this draft is:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gutmann-cms-rtcs-00.txt

He would like to get some review of the CMS parts of this, and it seems
reasonable to discuss it here on the IETF-SMIME list if there is
interest.

Since this draft is CMS based and potentially adds value to CMS or
S/MIME in general, should we consider bringing it into this working
group?

Comments?
