A Usage for Shared Resources in RELOAD

Overview

RFC 8076, “A Usage for Shared Resources in RELOAD”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2017 by A. Knauf, T. Schmidt, G. Hege, M. Waehlisch. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document defines a REsource LOcation And Discovery (RELOAD) Usage for managing shared write access to RELOAD Resources. Shared Resources in RELOAD (ShaRe) form a basic primitive for enabling various coordination and notification schemes among distributed peers. Access in ShaRe is controlled by a hierarchical trust delegation scheme maintained within an access list. A new USER-CHAIN-ACL access policy allows authorized peers to write a Shared Resource without owning its corresponding certificate. This specification also adds mechanisms to store Resources with a variable name that is useful whenever peer-independent rendezvous processes are required.

What “Proposed Standard” means
