Object Identifier Registry for the
Long-Term Archive and Notary Services (LTANS) Working Group
Abstract
When the Long-Term Archive and Notary Services (LTANS) working group
was chartered, an object identifier arc was set aside for use by that
working group. This document describes the object identifiers that
were assigned, and it establishes IANA allocation policies for any
future assignments within that arc.

1. Introduction
When the Long-Term Archive and Notary Services (LTANS) working group
was chartered, an object identifier arc was set aside for use by that
working group. These object identifiers are primarily used with
Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) [ASN1-88] [ASN1-97].
The LTANS object identifier arc is:
id-ltans OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) identified-organization(3)
dod(6) internet(1) security(5)
mechanisms(5) ltans(11) }
This document describes the object identifiers that were assigned,
and it establishes IANA allocation policies for any future
assignments within that arc.
2. Subordinate Object Identifier Arcs
Three subordinate object identifier arcs were used. The first arc,
id-mod, was used to assign ASN.1 module identifiers. The second arc,
id-ct, was used to assign Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) content
types. The third arc, id-em, was set aside for Evidence Record
Syntax (ERS) encryption methods.
id-mod OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ltans 0 }
id-ct OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ltans 1 }
id-em OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ltans 2 }

RFC 7036 LTANS OID Registry October 2013
3. Module Identifiers
The Evidence Record Syntax (ERS) [RFC 4998] includes two ASN.1
modules. Both modules define the same syntax, but one module uses
the 1997 ASN.1 syntax, and the other module uses the 1988 ASN.1
syntax. These module identifiers are:
id-mod-ers OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-mod 1 }
id-mod-ers-v1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-mod 1 1 }
id-mod-ers88 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-mod 2 }
id-mod-ers88-v1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-mod 2 1 }
The Long-term Archive Protocol (LTAP) [LTAP] includes two ASN.1
modules. While this protocol was never published as an RFC, the
module identifiers were assigned to facilitate implementation. Both
modules define the same syntax, but one module uses the 1997 ASN.1
syntax, and the other module uses the 1988 ASN.1 syntax. These
module identifiers are:
id-mod-ltap88 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-mod 3 }
id-mod-ltap88-v0 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-mod 3 0 }
id-mod-ltap88-v1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-mod 3 1 }
id-mod-ltap OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-mod 4 }
id-mod-ltap-v0 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-mod 4 0 }
id-mod-ltap-v1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-mod 4 1 }
The document that describes the conventions for using the Server-
Based Certificate Validation Protocol (SCVP) to convey Long-Term
Evidence Records [RFC 5276] includes one ASN.1 module. The module
identifier is:
id-mod-ers-scvp OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-mod 5 }
id-mod-ers-scvp-v1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-mod 5 1 }
The Data Structure for the Security Suitability of Cryptographic
Algorithms (DSSC) [RFC 5698] includes two ASN.1 modules. Both modules
define the same syntax, but one module uses the 1997 ASN.1 syntax,
and the other module uses the 1988 ASN.1 syntax. These module
identifiers are:
id-mod-dssc88 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-mod 6 }
id-mod-dssc88-v1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-mod 6 1 }
id-mod-dssc OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-mod 7 }
id-mod-dssc-v1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-mod 7 1 }

RFC 7036 LTANS OID Registry October 2013
4. CMS Content Types
A CMS content type for an Evidence Record was reserved, but no
specification points to this value. It remains reserved.
id-ct-evidence-record OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ct 1 }
The Data Structure for the Security Suitability of Cryptographic
Algorithms (DSSC) [RFC 5698] specifies three CMS content types. These
CMS content types are:
id-ct-dssc-asn1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ct 2 }
id-ct-dssc-xml OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ct 3 }
id-ct-dssc-tbsPolicy OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ct 6 }
The Long-term Archive Protocol (LTAP) [LTAP] defines two CMS content
types. While this protocol was never published as an RFC, the CMS
content types were assigned to facilitate implementation. These CMS
content types are:
id-ct-LTAPRequest OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ct 4 }
id-ct-LTAPResponse OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ct 5 }
5. ERS Encryption Methods
An arc was set up for Evidence Record Syntax (ERS) encryption
methods, and one object identifier was assigned. However, that
object identifier is obsolete, and it should not be used.
id-em-enveloped-data OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-em 1 } -- obsolete
6. Security Considerations
This document populates an IANA registry, and it raises no new
security considerations. The protocols that specify these values
include the security considerations associated with their usage.
7. IANA Considerations
IANA has updated one registry table and created four additional
tables.
Updates to the four new tables require Expert Review, as defined in
[RFC 5226]. The Designated Expert is expected to ensure that any new
values are strongly related to the work that was done by the LTANS
WG. Object identifiers for other purposes should not be assigned in
this arc.
