Re: Last Call: <draft-santesson-auth-context-extension-09.txt> (Authentication Context Certificate Extension) to Proposed Standard

2015-11-17 10:29:15
I have no objection to the change from Information to Standards Track.  
However, there are some errors in the ASN.1 modules that need to be corrected.

The module in Appendix A.1 uses the 1988 syntax, and it imports but never uses 
the Extension type.  Removing the IMPORT statement altogether will resolve this 
problem.

The module in Appendix A.2 uses the 2008 syntax, and the IMPORT statement is 
missing the ending semi-colon.

In addition, the Appendix A.2 should contain an extension set similar to the 
ones in RFC 5912.  I suggest something like:

   ElegnamndenCertExtensions EXTENSION ::= {
       ext-AuthenticationContext, ... }

The draft below was sent through last call as Proposed Standard, which
was intended, but the document header was listed as informational.  If
there is no issue changing the header and proceeding as proposed
standard, we'll go ahead with that.  Please let me know if there is a
problem and we'll put it through as informational, it was marked
correctly everywhere else and did go through the 4 week last call
process.

Thank you,

Abstract


  This document defines an extension to certificates according to
  [RFC5280]. The extension defined in this document holds data about
  how the certificate subject was authenticated by the Certification
  Authority that issued the certificate in which this extension appears

  This document also defines one data structure for inclusion in this
  Extension. The data structure is designed to hold information when
  the subject is authenticated using a SAML assertion [SAML].
