Shepherd Write Up: draft-kivinen-ipsecme-oob-pubkey-10
1. Summary
The document shepherd is Yaron Sheffer. The responsible Area Director is
Kathlen Moriarty.
The document extends IKEv2 with generic support for multiple formats of raw
public keys. This is expected to be used in IOT settings and/or setups using
DANE. Raw RSA keys were removed from IKEv2 in its latest iteration (RFC 7296)
in anticipation of this document. There was not enough IPsecME WG energy behind
the draft, so it never became a WG document. But the chairs do support its
publication as an AD-sponsored Standards Track RFC so as not to lose an
existing IKEv2 feature
(http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipsec/current/msg08358.html). The
document updates RFC 7296.
2. Review and Consensus
There was relatively little review in the working group. However this is a
small extension to the protocol and it was written by experienced IPsec
implementors; moreover, it re-enacts and extends functionality that's been
there for a while. The shepherd reviewed the document twice (as well as
earlier, during its WG lifetime), resulting in several changes. The shepherd
believes the document is now in good shape for publication.
We are not aware of any implementations of this extension at the moment.
3. Intellectual Property
Each author has confirmed conformance with BCP 78/79. There is no known IPR
associated with the draft.
4. Other Points
According to the Nits checker, the abstract should mention that the document
updates RFC 7296.
