<DIV> DELETION FROM THE NRPM</DIV>

<DIV> 3.5.3 X.509</DIV>
<DIV> This section
intentionally left blank.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV> ADDITION TO THE NRPM</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV> 3.5.3 X.509</DIV>
<DIV> ARIN accepts
X.509-signed transactions as authentic</DIV>
<DIV> communication from
authorized Points of Contact. POCs</DIV>
<DIV> may denote their
records "crypt-auth," subsequent to</DIV>
<DIV> which unsigned
communications shall not be deemed</DIV>
<DIV> authentic with
regard to those records.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV><B> 8. Rationale:</B></DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV> This policy complements the previously-proposed
"Reinstatement of</DIV>
<DIV> PGP Authentication Method" which introduces section
3.5 to the</DIV>
<DIV> NRPM. Section 3.5 relates the existence of three
authentication</DIV>
<DIV> methods. Two of those, mail-from and X.509, were
preexisting but</DIV>
<DIV> not documented within the NRPM.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> This policy proposal simply seeks to provide brief
documentation</DIV>
<DIV> of the existence of the X.509 authentication method.
Because the</DIV>
<DIV> specific wording of the documentation may be subject
to debate,</DIV>
<DIV> and is in no way interdependent upon the documentation
of the</DIV>
<DIV> other two methods, it is being proposed in a separate
policy, so</DIV>
<DIV> that consensus may be more easily reached.</DIV>
