Technical Summary
This document defines metadata to support delegating the delivery of
HTTPS content between two or more interconnected CDNs. Specifically,
this document defines a CDNI Metadata interface object to enable
delegation of X.509 certificates leveraging delegation schemes
defined in RFC9115. RFC9115 allows delegating entities to remain in
full control of the delegation and be able to revoke it any time and
this avoids the need to share private cryptographic key material
between the involved entities.
Working Group Summary
There were no major controversies or discontent. Discussions were primarily
around scope, specifically, minimizing the contents of the draft to only what
is needed for CDNI to support delegation and avoiding any implementation of
security protocols. CDNI supports configuration and capability negotiation
between CDNs; it does not implement security protocols.
Document Quality
The draft specifically provides for configuring ACME across CDNs and so relates
to the work of the ACME WG. The draft was reviewed by Thomas Fossati, one of
the co-authors of RFC8739 and RFC9115, prior to WGLC and all his comments were
addressed.
Personnel
The Document Shepherd for this document is Kevin J. Ma. The Responsible
Area Director is Francesca Palombini.
