New ASN.1 Modules for the Evidence Record Syntax (ERS)
Abstract
The Evidence Record Syntax (ERS) and the conventions for including
these evidence records in the Server-based Certificate Validation
Protocol (SCVP) are expressed using ASN.1. This document offers
alternative ASN.1 modules that conform to the 2002 version of ASN.1
and employ the conventions adopted in RFCs 5911, 5912, and 6268.
There are no bits-on-the-wire changes to any of the formats; this is
simply a change to the ASN.1 syntax.

1. Introduction
Some developers would like the IETF to use the latest version of
ASN.1 in its standards. This document provides alternative ASN.1
modules to assist in that goal.
The Evidence Record Syntax (ERS) [RFC4998] provides two ASN.1
modules: one using the 1988 syntax [OLD-ASN1], which has been
deprecated by the ITU-T, and another one using the newer syntax
[NEW-ASN1], which continues to be maintained and enhanced. This
document provides an alternative ASN.1 module that follows the
conventions established in [RFC5911], [RFC5912], and [RFC6268].
In addition, [RFC5276] specifies the mechanism for conveying evidence
records in the Server-based Certificate Validation Protocol (SCVP)
[RFC5055]. There is only one ASN.1 module in [RFC5276], and it uses
the 1988 syntax [OLD-ASN1]. This document provides an alternative
ASN.1 module using the newer syntax [NEW-ASN1] and follows the
conventions established in [RFC5911], [RFC5912], and [RFC6268]. Note
that [RFC5912] already includes an alternative ASN.1 module for SCVP
[RFC5055].
The original ASN.1 modules get some of their definitions from places
outside the RFC series. Some of the referenced definitions are
somewhat difficult to find. The alternative ASN.1 modules offered in
this document stand on their own when combined with the modules in
[RFC5911], [RFC5912], and [RFC6268].
The alternative ASN.1 modules produce the same bits on the wire as
the original ones.
The alternative ASN.1 modules are informative; the original ones are
normative.

4. IANA Considerations
IANA has assigned two object identifiers from the "SMI Security for
LTANS Module Identifier" registry to identify the two ASN.1 modules
in this document.
The following object identifiers have been assigned:
+======================+====================+===========+
| OID Value | Description | Reference |
+======================+====================+===========+
| 1.3.6.1.5.5.11.0.1.2 | id-mod-ers-v2 | RFC 9169 |
+----------------------+--------------------+-----------+
| 1.3.6.1.5.5.11.0.5.2 | id-mod-ers-scvp-v2 | RFC 9169 |
+----------------------+--------------------+-----------+
Table 1: IANA Object Identifiers
5. Security Considerations
Please see the security considerations in [RFC4998] and [RFC5276].
This document makes no changes to the security considerations in
those documents. The ASN.1 modules in this document preserve bits on
the wire as the ASN.1 modules that they replace.
