Ballot Text

Technical Summary

  This document defines an extension to the TLS protocol to support the
  use of OpenPGP public keys in places where TLS normally uses X.509
  certificates.

Working Group Summary

  This document is a product of the Transport Layer Security (TLS)
  Working Group, and is a continuation of an earlier draft (started
  already in 1999) which used different ciphersuites for PGP keys.  The
  document was reviewed by TLS WG members and chairs.

Protocol Quality

  The TLS extension described in this document is implemented in at
  least one open source TLS library.

  This document was reviewed by Russ Housley for the IESG.
