discusses option for creating this certificate.

The Pledge Inteface does not require a public IP address, nor does it have have to run on port 443.
The address and port of the Pledge interface to the Registrar is advertised by the Registrar using GRASP, according to {{I-D.ietf-anima-bootstrapping-keyinfra}} section 4.1.1.
The service may run on any available port.
The HTTPS, CoAP and CoAPS port numbers do not need to be coordinated.

In an ACP application ({{I-D.ietf-anima-autonomic-control-plane}}), the Pledge Interface SHOULD
have an IPv6 Unique Local Address (ULA) address from the prefix allocated to
the ACP.
{{acpnoc}} provides some options for how the Pledge Interface can be best
connected to the ACP.

{{acpnoc}} provides some options for how the Pledge Interface can be best connected to the ACP.

Outside of the ACP context, running the Pledge interface on an IP address that has a FQDN that resolves to that IP address (if only internally), and operating it on port 443 may have operational advantages.
The Registrar may have additional management functions, it may also serve as an EST end point for certificate renewal, and {{I-D.friel-anima-brski-cloud}} proposes a mechanism to bootstrap devices which are not connected by a convex ACP, or no ACP.
The Registrar may be accessible via multiple interfaces.
