Re: require key selector to be public key

Jim,

I strongly object to your new process of issuing a motion for change in 
proposed standard with only a 3 day ultimatum during a period when many 
participants may be on vacation.

If you are now establishing some formality to change request, please allow a 
longer fixed period of time (like a week).  During this holiday season, you 
might consider even a longer period.

DESCRIPTION

Currently, with the exception of the use of certificates, the key
selector is an arbitrary value chosen by the owner of the public/private
key pair.

It has been asserted that this is unnecessarily complex and that the
value of the key selector should be restricted to being the public key.

POSITION

Leave the specification of the key selector as currently stated.

ACTION

If you disagree with this position you must send a message to the
pem-dev(_at_)tis(_dot_)com mailing list by 12am EST saturday, December 24.
