RE: Discussing RTCS

I agree with Denis, this is a certificate validation issue and as such
belongs in the PKIX WG if to be standardized by the IETF.  I think that
we can provide a review of the document if requested for it's usage of
CMS, but not it's general suitablity.

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?
