It is my understanding that the internet draft draft-stapleton-ttned-01
was assigned to the S/MIME group in January 2007. This document specifies a
cryptographically protected message format and transaction protocol for
managing network-enabled devices. The message format consists of a header,
content and trailers. The message header uniquely identifies the message type.
The message content is afforded (i) authentication by means of a digital
signature trailer and (ii) confidentiality by means of encryption trailer; and
the whole message (header, content, trailers) is afforded integrity by means of
a trusted time stamp trailer. All message structures are defined using ASN.1
and all cryptographic structures use CMS. The transaction protocol consists of
request messages, response messages, acknowledgement messages, and notification
messages. My intent is to transition this draft to RFC status. I would be
interested in generating some dialogue on this document, collecting comments,
and applying changes to make it a better document. Thanks! Jeff Stapleton |
