CMP Interop Project June 28, 2000 Robert Moskowitz rgm@icsa.net
CMP Interop Goals • Establish interoperability of Certificate Management Protocol • CMP, RFCs 2510 & 2511, and ID 2510bis • A set of CMP transactions • a public demonstration of CMP interoperability • Initial efforts in 4 workshops May 99 - Nov ‘99 • ICSA.net is coordinating/running Interop efforts
Completed Milestones • Solicit participation (22 Mar 2000) • Set initial testing and goals (Apr 2000) • First workshop, ir/ip (2 - 4 May 2000) • Lessons learned, plans for rest of testing (May 2000) • Second workshop, cr/cp (6 - 8 Jun 2000) • Some vendors already testing rr/rp • Provide TWG with status update, solicit feedback (28-29 Jun 2000 in Dublin)
Active Interop Participants • Certicom (Trustpoint) • Cylink • Entegrity • Entrust • TC Trustcenter • SSH • Sun (Java)
Next Milestones • Third workshop, rr/rp (11 - 14 Jul 2000) • Provide IETF with status update, solicit feedback (1 - 3 Aug 2000 in Pittsburgh) • Fourth workshop, kur/kup (8 - 10 Aug 2000) • Fifth workshop, ccr/ccp (5 - 7 Sep 2000) • Provide TWG with status update, solicit feedback (12 - 14 Sep 2000 in Montreal) • Plan public demo (Oct 2000)
Pending Interop Participants • Baltimore • IBM • Jonah (Reference implementation) • NIST • Open CA • RSA Research • Utimaco
Lessons Learned • CA policy has a major impact on EE use of CMP • Need to collect basic policy items • A few areas in specs are unclear • Need list ‘lore’ to implement • Is 2510bis stable? • Disagreement on pkiConf content
Conclusions • CMP Interop does not currently exist • CMP Interop CAN be achieved this year • Hard work all around • Clean up the specs? • More participation needed
