Re: Last Call: draft-ietf-pkix-ta-format (Trust Anchor Format) to Proposed Standard

Carl,

I think the critique of the TSL work is well founded from the perspective of
TAM, but there is nevertheless an important point here.

While TSL might not be an ideal standard for automated trust anchor
management, very much caused by its mixed scope of fields for both human and
machine consumption, it has despite this become a central component for
efforts in Europe, supported by the EU commission, to provide a common
framework for trust in CAs in Europe.

There is a substantial risk that we will see two very different approaches
that at least overlap in scope, which may harm interoperability.

Perhaps the authors should be aware of the existing European Technical
Specification for trust status lists (TS 102 231), which have some
overlap
in function with the Trust anchor list in this internet draft.

This is being adopted by all EU member states as a means of publishing
information on CA recognised as trustworthy under the national
accreditation
or supervisory schemes.

To obtain a copy go to:

and enter TS 102 231 in the search box.
