new draft, finally

ftp://ftp.clark.net/pub/cme/spki.txt

has the copy of the new draft which I mailed off to IETF as

draft-ietf-spki-cert-structure-02.txt

at 21:30 EDT tonight.

Sorry for the huge delay between drafts.  This one has substantial
changes.  (Older copies are kept at the ftp address above, if
someone wants to compare.)

This draft includes full *-form tag algebra (thanks to Ron Rivest,
with a full set of rules I added), k-of-n subjects (thanks to Tatu,
with reduction logic I added), firmly defined canonical forms,
full BNF -- and real examples which people can verify (signatures
and hashes).

In the process, I wrote some code to make these examples.  As soon as
I'm sure it's presentable, I will put it up for ftp.  It uses
rsaref, so anyone should be able to get it running.  I have been
assured by NSA Z03 that there is no problem with its export.

A number of different implementations of 5-tuple reduction are
in the works.  Some will be put up for ftp -- if not made into
an internet-draft.  Mine isn't in a position to release yet.

 - Carl
