Marcelo,
What is being propossed is exactly that, a new Name Type of the
Trust anchor Option:
Name Type TBD SHA-1 Subject Key Identifier (SKI)
To be added to the ones already defined in RFC 3971in sectin 6.4.3
"The type of the name included in the Name field. This
specification defines two legal values for this field:
1 DER Encoded X.501 Name 2 FQDN"
Regards,
Roque

Hi,
My take on this one.
I think we need a way to distinguish TAs across different CAs. I
think that using the Hash of the public key is a reasonable option.
Now, what i am not sure i understand is why do we need a new option.
I mean, wouldn't be possible to define a new Name Type of the
Trust anchor Option defined in section 6.4.3 of RFC3971, the new
Name type being the SKI?
People that are using multiple Tas should use this Name Type to be
certain that they identify the right TA accors multiple TAs.

Dear WG,
At the "cert" team we have identify a problem with RFC 3971 and
the trust anchor name types defined there. The RFC defines as
possible name types a X501 subject name or a FQDN. The problem we
have is that subject name may not be unique across CAs in a PKI.
As we decided to adopt SIDR WG certificate profile, the Subject
Key Identifier extension is mandatory now. Consequently, we can
use this hash of the subject public key to identify the host TAs
even if we need to search across several CAs.
We are issuing this draft to document the problem. However, RFC
3971 did not set a Registry for name types in the TA ICMP option,
which means that the only way to implement this new name type is
to modify RFC 3971 that I understand was already part of the
plans for this WG.
How do the group feels about taking this path?
Regards,
Roque, Suresh, Ana.
