    • Updates

      • RFC has been adopted
      • Feedback

        • Changes were made to the abstract text to mention CNAME
          records explicitly
        • Currently a PR exists on GitHub to offer more changes in
          that space. They have not been submitted to the
          datatracker just yet.
        • Discussion in a GitHub issue regarding the design of the
          DNS-ACCOUNT-01 label to
          $hash._acme-challenge.example.com

          • Continue discussion on mailing list, but feel free
            to do it on GitHub too
        • Authorship: why so many authors

          • Nothing done in that space
          • Open to ideas
      • Support

        • CDNs have expressed interest, during the adoption too
        • CAs have expressed interest
        • Cloud providers have expressed interest
        • ACME clients have expressed interest
        • Blog post from Cloudflare to do automatic DCV by
          pointing a cname to them
          • They acknowledge that this draft exists and it would
            help them have a better offering
      • Implementations

        • Google Trust Services has enabled this challenge in
          production & test acme servers
        • Planning to add support to Boulder CA, others (including
          clients/libraries)
    • Yoav: Five authors should not be a problem

  • Update on draft-acme-device-attest (Brandon Weeks)

    • There is work in RATS for another attestation type.
    • The author is Ok with WebAuthn since that's already
      standardized.
    • Question from Mike Ounsworth: Key attestation for pure x509 key
      attestion. Do you want to talk/coordinate since our work is
      similar
      • Brandon: love to coordinate, challenge has been getting more
        feedback
      • Mike: aware that i'm trying to add another attestation
        format to the chaos. Let's communicate offline.
      • Brandon: There is already another draft in lamps thats
        related to this.
      • Mike: I believe it is an opaque blob jammed into a CSR
      • Deb: Would be nice to get all the attestation drafts
        together so no overlap happens
      • Brandon: I only know of three, tls lamps and acme
  • AOB:

    • Q Misell {draft-misell-acme-onion-00}

      • There is a draft I've been working on.
      • It is my first time interacting with the IETF, possibly my
        mail to acme was lost.
      • This is a short draft to define how ACME handles issuing to
        hidden services (e.g. TOR, etc). A small number of CAs
        already do this.

        • Complexities such as lack of DNS, CAA account binding,
          etc
        • How this will be communicated over ACME. TOR ownership
          verification looks quite different from a verification
          for a publicly-registered DNS name.
        • CAB Forum addresses the TOR use case
      • In ACME currently the CSR is disjoint from the label

      • First draft, please send feedback to the author or mailing
        list https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-misell-acme-onion-00.html
    • Amir Omidi: We are going to upstream our changes shortly, how
      would the WG like to proceed on the DNS-01 draft?

      • Yoav: like any other; wait until we reach consensus on-list.
      • Amir: is it ready for WGLC?
      • Yoav: it was only submitted a few weeks ago and has not had
        enough time for review. How many people have read it? ...
        online poll ... 5 RAISE HAND's. 27 not raised.
      • Encouraged to read in the next few weeks and we can raise it
        on the mailing list.
