Hi Dan, Warren,
The (extended) last call for this is now over.
There were minor comments from the gen-art [1] and opsdir
reviews (not sent to a list?) and some additional editorial
comments received offlist (from IEEE folks I believe).
As promised, I also asked some IEEE folks about this and got
one substantive comment, which is below. (The author of that
didn't yet say yes when I asked if it was ok to forward their
email, so I'll post the comment itself and send a link to this
to the author, who can then decide to engage or not.) The
comment was:
"It's possible to do this via EAP, either as a new EAP method
implementing OWE or as an extension to EAP-TLS wherein client certs are
not required and a DH/DHE TLS ciphersuite is used. These approaches are
squarely within IETF's jurisdiction. Why not go that route? Indeed
there are a couple extra round trips required in the protocol, but you
don't commit any standardization cardinal sins along the way. "
I don't think any of the above are fatal to proceeding but would
like if Dan and/or Warren can respond to those comments and submit
a revised ID if one is needed. Assuming nothing major ensues as a
result I'll put this draft on an upcoming IESG telechat.
Cheers,
S.
