Key Management Issues
John discussed his reflections on the proposal:
- Existing structures for key representation in the standard are relatively crude and are not shared by other standards and specifications.
- Proposal leverages external standards in a satisfying way.
- Trust management scales nicely
- From self-signed certificates through hierarchical signing
- We should not require CA signed certificates, instead leave that to the IP authors and tool vendors to agree on.
Dave G recalled early considerations at Synplicity where they copied the key into the IP.
John noted that we need to be authoritative about mapping from key_owner/key_name to the selection query on available certificates. He also identified certificate validity as an issue, and that this could be of interest to both tool vendors and IP authors.

For example, exchanging a symmetric key in a IP Author secret key use case. We need to be clear about the implications of what we recommend.
