Re: RFC 3161 Interoperability Site

[Denis Pinkas <Denis.Pinkas@xxxxxxxx>]

Robert,

Thank you for posting this message.

However no implementation can yet claim to be "RFC 3161 compliant" since no 
interoperability test has been performed up to now.

An interoperability test matrix has been sent to different people (in fact 
all people I have been aware of) that have announced to support the 
Time-Stamp Protocol from the IETF, but two companies (with independent 
implementations) still need to fill-in the matrix so that we can progress 
RFC 3161 to Proposed Standard.

The only "difficult" part is to test the error cases in both directions.
