[Ietf-keyprov] Updated Charter with milestones

[Philip Hoyer]

Gentlemen,
I would like to propose to use the latest version of the PSKC draft as the
input document instead of the first version 

The latest draft can be found at:

Collecting the changes proposed to date:
 

Provisioning of Symmetric Keys (KEYPROV)
========================================

Background
----------

Current developments in deployment of Shared Symmetric Key (SSK) tokens have
highlighted the need for a standard protocol for provisioning symmetric
keys. 

The need for provisioning protocols in PKI architectures has been recognized
for some time. Although the existence and architecture of these protocols
provides a feasibility proof for the KEYPROV work assumptions built into
these protocols mean that it is not possible to apply them to symmetric key
architectures without substantial modification.

In particular the ability to provision symmetric keys and associated
attributes dynamically to already issued devices such as cell phones and USB
drives is highly desirable. The working group will develop the necessary
protocols and data formats required to support provisioning and management
of symmetric key authentication tokens, both proprietary and standards
based.


Input Documents
---------------

The following documents have been proposed by their authors as input
documents:

Portable Symmetric Key Container

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-vassilev-portable-symmetric-key-co
ntainer-00.txt 

Extensions to CT-KIP to support one- and two-pass key initialization

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-nystrom-ct-kip-two-pass-00.txt 


Scope and Deliverables
----------------------

The scope of the working group shall be to define protocols and data formats
necessary for provisioning of symmetric cryptographic keys and associated
attributes.

The group shall consider use cases related to use of Shared Symmetric Key
Tokens. Other use cases may be considered for the purpose of avoiding
unnecessary restrictions in the design and ensure the potential for future
extensibility.

The working group will produce the following deliverables:

*	Portable Symmetric Key Container 
*	Dynamic Symmetric Key Provisioning Protocol
