Sorry -- I meant RFC 4398 and not RFC 4648!

I believe it would be a mistake to publish this document without having
it include a discussion of its relationship to RFC 4648.  As far as I
can tell, the CERT record defined in RFC 4648 solves roughly the same
problem as OPENPGPKEY and CERT is already deployed with support in (for
example) GnuPG.  I believe the community would benefit from sorting out
the relationship before publication, not after, when we would have two
RFCs describing solutions for what appears to be the same problem.

The IESG has received a request from the DNS-based Authentication of

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf-EgrivxUAwEY(_at_)public(_dot_)gmane(_dot_)org mailing lists by

Abstract


   OpenPGP is a message format for email (and file) encryption that
   lacks a standardized lookup mechanism to securely obtain OpenPGP
   public keys.  This document specifies a method for publishing and
   locating OpenPGP public keys in DNS for a specific email address
   using a new OPENPGPKEY DNS Resource Record.  Security is provided via
   DNSSEC.
