Looks good Reviewer: Christian Amsüss Review result: Ready with Nits Thanks for this well-written document ART topics: The document does not touch on any of the typical ART review issues; times are relative in well understood units, and versioning, formal language (ASN.1, which is outside of my experience to check) and encoding infrastructure (struct) follows TLS practices. General comments: The introduction of this mechanism gives the impression of a band-aid applied to a PKI ecosystem that has accumulated many limitations as outlined in section The present solution appears good, but if there is ongoing work on the underlying issues (even experimentally), I'd appreciate a careful reference to it. Section 7.6 hints at the front end querying the back-end for creation of new DCs -- other than that, DC distribution (neither push- nor pull-based) is discussed. If there are any mechanisms brewing, I'd appreciate a reference as well. Please check: The IANA considerations list "delegated_credential" for CH, CR and CT messages. I did not find a reference in the text for Ct, only for CH and CR. Editorial comments: (p5) "result for the peer.." -- extraneous period. (p9, p15, p16) The "7 days" are introduced as the default for a profilable prarameter, but later used without further comment.

Reviewer: Elwyn Davies Review Date: 2022-04-08 IETF LC End Date: 2022-04-08 IESG Telechat date: Not scheduled for a telechat Summary: Ready with nits. Just a few editrial level nits. Major issues: None Minor issues: None. Nits/editorial comments: Abstract: The exact form of the abbreviation (D)TLS is not in the set of well-known abbreviations.

I assume it is supposed to mean DTLS or TLS - This ought to be expanded on first use. Abstract: s/mechanism to to/mechanism to/ s1, para 2: CA is used before its expansion in para 3. s1, next to last para: "this document proposes" Hopefully when it becomes an RFC it will do more than propose. Suggest "this document introduces". s1, next to last para: "to speak for names" sounds a bit anthropomorphic to me, but I can't think of a simple alternative word. s1, last para: s/We will refer/This document refers/ [Not an academic paper!] s3.1, 2nd bullet: s/provide are not necessary/provide is not necessary/ s4, definition of expectedcertverify_algorithm: " Only signature algorithms allowed for use in CertificateVerify message are allowed." Does this need a reference to the place where the list of such algorithms is recorded? s4.1.1 and s4.1.2: In s4.1.1: "the client SHOULD ignore delegated credentials sent as extensions to any other certificate." I would have though this ought to be a MUST. There is an equivalent in s4.1.2. I am not sure what the client/server might do if it doesn't ignore the DC. s4.1.3, para 1: s/same way that is done/same way that it is done/ s4.2, para 1: s/We define/This docuent defines/ sS/s5.1: RFC conventions prefer not to have sections empty of text: Add something like: "The following operational consideration should be taken into consideration when using Delegated Certificates:"
