Re: PKIX vs draft-ietf-ipsec-pki-req-02.txt



Mark,


IPsec, unlike SSL, has no client or server roles.  It is a peer
communication protocol.  So, I am not so keen to put in distinctions of
the sort you mentioned.  Aslo, the following OIDs are from 2459, and
they don't contain an "ipsec server" entry:


<fontfamily><param>Courier_New</param><bigger>KeyPurposeId ::= OBJECT
IDENTIFIER


-- extended key purpose OIDs

id-kp-serverAuth      OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-kp 1 }

id-kp-clientAuth      OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-kp 2 }

id-kp-codeSigning     OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-kp 3 }

id-kp-emailProtection OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-kp 4 }

id-kp-ipsecEndSystem  OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-kp 5 }

id-kp-ipsecTunnel     OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-kp 6 }

id-kp-ipsecUser       OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-kp 7 }

id-kp-timeStamping    OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-kp 8 }



</bigger></fontfamily>I hate to admit it, as co-chair of PKIX, but I'm
not sure why we have an ipsecTunnel entry here.  User and EndSystem
make sense, but not tunnel.
