Hi!
The attached document presents our ideas regarding this, and also raises some questions for the membership. Please have a look, and comment. There will also be a presentation and discussion at the NCC Services Working Group next week at RIPE 47, for those interested in voicing their opinions in person.

I object on making x.509 the sole method of authenticated communication with RIPE. There's GPG, and it works, now. X.509 is not the way to go. It's just a (needless) duplication of effort. And wading forever in the mess of "do we use this protocol/format or that" and so on. -- MfG/Best regards, Kurt Jaeger 16 years to go !
