Re: [STDS-P1619] SISWG E-MOTION 2008-03: P1619.3 PROTOCOL QUESTION BALLOT



"Shall P1619.3 require one mandatory messaging protocol and zero or more optional messaging protocols to insure interoperability between key management clients and key management servers?"

No
 
Comments:  Requiring at least one protocol will limit which clients can support the standard. Also, without specifying the details of this required protocol, it is not possible to determine whether or not any given client even support it. One required protocol, regardless of what it is, will not cover the anticipated use cases.
 
We would support listing one or more  binary and non-binary transport protocols as examples, but do not support requiring a mandatory transport.
