This note announces the start of a two-week last call within the Kerberos Working Group on whether to send the following document to the IESG: Title: PKINIT Algorithm Agility Filename: draft-ietf-krb-wg-pkinit-alg-agility-05.txt Intended Status: Standards Track This document updates PKINIT, as defined in RFC 4556, to remove protocol structures tied to specific cryptographic algorithms. The PKINIT key derivation function is made negotiable, the digest algorithms for signing the pre-authentication data and the client's X.509 certificates are made discoverable. These changes provide preemptive protection against vulnerabilities discovered in the future against any specific cryptographic algorithm, and allow incremental deployment of newer algorithms. This last call will expire at 23:59 EDT on Friday, March 2, 2012. Please review this document and send any comments to the Kerberos Working Group mailing list, <[email protected]>, by that date. The file can be obtained via http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-krb-wg-pkinit-alg-agility-05.txt -- Jeffrey T.
