[Ietf-keyprov] Proposed Charter

 > 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.

Hi Phil,

I was wondering about the applicability of keyprov work to cell 
phones as mentioned in the above sentence from the proposed 
charter.  We have had some discussion on this at the BoF meeting in 
San Diego, but could you elaborate on
i) what types of cell phones (following which standards, e.g., 3GPP, 
3GPP2 etc) might use keyprov protocols?
and ii) what kind of keys in cell phones might be provisioned by 
keyprov protocols?

As it stands now there are protocols defined by 3GPP and 3GPP2 for 
service key provisioning (e.g., OTASP and GBA).  Is the charter 
saying that there are deficiencies in those protocols that keyprov is 
going to address?

thanks,
Lakshminath
