<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
  <p>End-to-end encryption between XMPP clients and mutual authentication between a client and a server are desirable goals for the XMPP network. To enable these features, typically an XMPP user will need to possess a public key (or multiple keys), along with an associated private key that is not made public. The goal of this document is to provide simple methods for the exchange of public keys among XMPP users -- specifically, data formats that enable an XMPP entity to complete the following use cases:</p>
  <ul>
    <li>Publish its current public keys.</li>
    <li>Revoke keys that are no longer in use.</li>
    <li>Publish signed copies of its public keys (called attestations).</li>
    <li>Discover and retrieve public keys published by other entities.</li>
  </ul>
</section1>

<section1 topic='Approach' anchor='approach'>
  <p>This document assumes that each user will have a privately-generated key. A user <strong>might</strong> have more than one key (e.g., different keys for different clients) and the user's key <strong>might</strong> be signed by other entities, such as a certification authority (CA) or another user. However, the simplest case is a single key per user.</p>
  <p>The data formats defined here are deliberately kept very simple, with the key itself represented as by the modulus and the public exponent, and any metadata represented using a few straightforward XML elements and attributes. This document does not use the 'http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#' namespace as specified in &w3xmlsig;; although that format is quite powerful, it introduces unnecessary levels of complexity for this use case. In addition, this document has no dependency on ASN.1, whose use is problematic on some computing platforms and languages (e.g., JavaScript).</p>
  <p>We define three payload elements:</p>
  <ol>
    <li>The &lt;pubkey/&gt; element (qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:pubkey:2' namespace) specifies a single public key for a user.</li>
    <li>The &lt;revoke/&gt; element (qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:revoke:2' namespace) specifies old keys that a user once used but has now revoked.</li>
    <li>The &lt;attest/&gt; element (qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:attest:2' namespace) specifies one or more signed copies of a user's public key.</li>
  </ol>
  <p>An entity MAY support only public key publishing (the 'urn:xmpp:pubkey:2' namespace) and not support revocations and attestations.</p>
</section1>

<section1 topic='Public Keys' anchor='keys'>
  <p>A single public key is contained in a &lt;pubkey/&gt; element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:pubkey:2' namespace &VNOTE;, for which the defined child elements are as follows:</p>

<section1 topic='Attestations' anchor='attestations'>
  <p>Whether in the context of the public key infrastructure (PKI) or a web of trust, a user might want to publish signed copies of his public key, where the signer might be another user or a trusted third party such as a certification authority (CA). The signing key could even be another key owned by the user (e.g., a primary key used to sign a secondary key associated with a particular device controlled by the user). Furthermore, the signing material might be an RSA key, a DSA key, an X.509 certificate, an OpenPGP key, or any other format.</p>

<section1 topic='Sending a Public Key Directly' anchor='send'>
  <p>An entity might need to send its public key to another entity, for example if it has generated a new key but does not have a way to publish the new key (or does not wish to publish the key in a world-readable fashion). In this case the entity MAY include the key directly in a &MESSAGE; stanza.</p>

<section1 topic='Signalling Key Generation' anchor='generate'>
  <p>There are several situations in which it is helpful for an entity to signal that it is currently generating a key. For example, a client that does not have access to permanent storage might generate a key on startup, but key generation might not be complete when the client sends initial presence upon establishing an XMPP session. In this case the client might signal support for the public key format in the entity capabilities data that it includes in its initial presence broadcast, but also include an indication that it is currently generating a key.</p>
  <example caption='Key generation in progress'><![CDATA[
<presence from='peter@jabber.org/foo'>
  <generating xmlns='urn:xmpp:pubkey:2'/>
</presence>
]]></example>
  <p>After key generation is complete, the entity could publish the new key to the appropriate PEP node (if available) and send updated presence without the &lt;generating/&gt; extension.</p>
  <example caption='Key generation completed'><![CDATA[
<presence from='peter@jabber.org/foo'/>
]]></example>
</section1>

<section1 topic='Determining Support' anchor='support'>
  <p>To advertise its support for public keys, revocations, and attestations, when replying to &xep0030; information requests an entity MUST return features for 'urn:xmpp:pubkey:2', 'urn:xmpp:revoke:2', and 'urn:xmpp:attest:2' respectively.</p>
  <p>In order for an application to determine whether an entity supports this protocol, where possible it SHOULD use the dynamic, presence-based profile of service discovery defined in &xep0115;. However, if an application has not received entity capabilities information from an entity, it SHOULD use explicit service discovery instead.</p>
</section1>

<section1 topic='Security Considerations' anchor='security'>
  <p>The reliable association between a user or entity and its public keys is beyond the scope of this document. However, each client SHOULD maintain its own secure library of the public keys it associates with other users.</p>
