Subject: Last Call: Changes to <draft-ietf-stir-certificates-15.txt> (Secure Telephone Identity Credentials: Certificates) to Proposed Standard

From: The IESG <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2017 00:59:52 -0800

The IESG has received a request from the Secure Telephone Identity Revisited
WG (stir) to consider changes to the following document:

- 'Secure Telephone Identity Credentials: Certificates'
  <draft-ietf-stir-certificates-15.txt> as Proposed Standard

An earlier version of this document has already been approved for publication
by the IESG. Subsequent to such approval, the STIR working group identified a
small number of critically important omissions in the document, which this
version addresses. This IETF last call is intended to solicit comments solely
on the changes between the approved version and the current version. These
changes can be found at:

https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url1=https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc8226.txt&url2=draft-ietf-stir-certificates-15

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email-masked]
mailing lists by 2017-11-30. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to
[email-masked] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the
Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract

   In order to prevent the impersonation of telephone numbers on the
   Internet, some kind of credential system needs to exist that
   cryptographically asserts authority over telephone numbers.  This
   document describes the use of certificates in establishing authority
   over telephone numbers, as a component of a broader architecture for
   managing telephone numbers as identities in protocols like SIP.
