This looks a propos our discussions as well. (via the cap-talk mailing list) -Jonathan http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/i-d-announce/current/msg43995.html A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Transport Layer Security Working Group of the IETF. Title : TLS Out-of-Band Public Key Validation Author(s) : Paul Wouters John Gilmore Samuel Weiler Tero Kivinen Hannes Tschofenig Filename : draft-ietf-tls-oob-pubkey-03.txt Pages : 10 Date : 2012-04-25 This document specifies a new TLS certificate type for exchanging raw public keys in Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) for use with out-of-band public key validation. Currently, TLS authentication can only occur via X.509-based Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) or OpenPGP certificates. By specifying a minimum resource for raw public key exchange, implementations can use alternative public key validation methods. One such alternative public key valiation method is offered by the DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) together with DNS Security. Another alternative is to utilize pre-configured keys, as is the case with sensors and other embedded devices. The usage of raw public keys, instead of X.509-based certificates, leads to a smaller code footprint. The support for raw public keys is introduced into TLS via a new non- PKIX certificate type.
