Technical Summary
SCVP allows a client to delegate certificate path construction and
certificate path validation to a server. The path construction or
validation (e.g., making sure that none of the certificates in the
path are revoked) is performed according to a validation policy,
which contains one or more trust anchors. It allows simplification
of client implementations and use of a set of predefined validation
policies.
Working Group Summary
The working group expressed consensus to advance the draft to
Proposed Standard. Two participants raised concerns that this
protocol did not meet all the requirements of RFC 3379 and introduced
significant new features. The working group investigated this claim
and concluded that after minor revisions this document does meet the
requirements and does not introduce significant new features.
Protocol Quality
This document has been reviewed by members of the ietf-pkix@imc.org
mailing list and by the working group chairs. The protocol seems
reasonable. This has been reviewed by Sam Hartman for the IESG.
