Subject: [dss] draft-rundgren-pkix-pnppki4ws-00.txt


Title: draft-rundgren-pkix-pnppki4ws-00.txt

A new Internet-Draft is now available that I thought may be of some interest to this group.  The announcement is included below, but it describes a new extension for X.509 certificates that is meant to allow them to better support Web services by, among other things, explicitly supporting globally unique identities. 

Anders Rundgren, the author of the draft, asked me to forward this to the DSS TC in order to obtain the group's opinions.  I've also attached the latest revision of the draft, as well as a PowerPoint presentation describing its features.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


        Title           : Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure
                          Plug-and-Play PKI for Web Services
        Author(s)       : A. Rundgren
        Filename        : draft-rundgren-pkix-pnppki4ws-00.txt
        Pages           : 22
        Date            : 2003-1-13
       
'Web Services' [2, 3] is the collective name of a set of emerging
technologies targeted for ultimately supporting Plug-and-Play (PnP)
integration of business- and information-systems, within and between
organizations.  This specification covers an X.509 certificate
extension, designed to enable PnP-support for the Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) part of a Web Service.  In addition to
supporting Web Services, the extension is also intended to be
useable for general-purpose PKI-enabled applications.  A PowerPoint
presentation highlighting the core of this specification is also
available [4]

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
        "get draft-rundgren-pkix-pnppki4ws-00.txt".

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in

Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
        mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
        "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-rundgren-pkix-pnppki4ws-00.txt".
       
NOTE:   The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
        MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
        feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
        command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
        a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
        exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
        "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
        up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
        how to manipulate these messages.
               
               
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
