Bug#763887: ITP: libest -- Enrollment over Secure Transport reference implementation



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: John Foley <foleyj@cisco.com>

* Package name    : libest
  Version         : 1.1.0p
  Upstream Author : John Foley <foleyj@cisco.com>
* URL             : https://github.com/cisco/libest
* License         : BSD
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : Enrollment over Secure Transport reference
implementation (RFC 7030)

RFC 7030 defines Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST).  EST is used to
securely provision X.509 certificates.  libest provides both a client-side
and server-side implementation of EST.  There are currently no upstream
packages dependent on libest.  However, libest provides both a library
and a command line utility.  The CLI utility can be used as a
stand-alone application to provision certificates on a Linux host.
EST is a new protocol. It is expected that upstream projects will
integrate libest in the future.  I am not aware of any existing Debian
packages that provide support for EST.

I plan to be the package maintainer and am currently looking for a sponsor.

Thank you.
