Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   Some proposed extensions to the Automated Certificate Management
   Environment (ACME) rely on proving eligibility for certificates
   through consulting an external authority that issues a token
   according to a particular policy.  This document specifies a generic
   Authority Token challenge for ACME which supports subtype claims for
   different identifiers or namespaces that can be defined separately
   for specific applications.

Working Group Summary

This work was done primarily be members of the STIR WG working in ACME but coordinating with STIR.

This document is a companion to draft-ietf-acme-authority-token.  Both are needed for a complete solution.

Document Quality

There are vendors, in STIR, who intend to implement this as the base document for TNAuthList.

Personnel

Rich Salz is the shepherd

Roman Danyliw is the AD
