There has been considerable discussion on the list about adding some
form of triple-DES as a data encryption algorithm option for PEM, and
this topic can be pursued if there are proponents available to discuss
the merits of various techniques.
Other topics suggested by attendees, either in advance (announced on
this list) or on site.
Steve,
I'd like to suggest an additional topic for the agenda: Storage of PEM
CRLs in the X.500 Directory. From a technical point of view, it's trivial,
but we have an urgent need for Internet-wide agreement on the exact details
of how it's done. (In particular, what object identifiers are used).
As you're looking for volunteers, I'd be prepared to speak in favour of adding
triple DES to the official PEM algorithms suite.
