I've just submitted the first draft of an Internet-Draft to the IETF. If it makes it through the whole editing process, it will take an existing file format used for identity-description, and adds a few details to allow crypto algorithms to be used for identity-/assertion/. It may not seem like much, but it could improve some aspects of hierarchical certificate authorities, encrypted email, and suchlike. It’s the most important thing I think I’ve been able to work on in the last little while, and I hope the editing process goes well. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <internet-drafts@ietf.org> Date: Fri, Aug 30, 2013 at 3:33 AM Subject: New Version Notification for draft-boese-vcarddav-signedvcard-00.txt To: Daniel Eliot Boese <datapacrat@datapacrat.com> A new version of I-D, draft-boese-vcarddav-signedvcard-00.txt has been successfully submitted by Daniel Eliot Boese and posted to the IETF repository. Filename: draft-boese-vcarddav-signedvcard Revision: 00 Title: vCard Format Extensions : Signed vCards Creation date: 2013-08-30 Group: Individual Submission Number of pages: 11 URL: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-boese-vcarddav-signedvcard-00.txt Status: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-boese-vcarddav-signedvcard Htmlized: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-boese-vcarddav-signedvcard-00 Abstract: The base vCard 4.0 specification defines a large number of properties. This specification adds two new parameters and six new properties to vCard 4.0, which allow the use of cryptography and public-key infrastructure (PKI) for identity assertion. Note Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested, and should be sent to vcarddav@ietf.org. Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
