  A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries.

  RFC 8894

  Title: Simple Certificate Enrolment Protocol

Just to put this into perspective, at that time running it on a state-of-the-
art PC would have involved a 450MHz Pentium III with 128MB RAM running Windows
NT communicating via a dialup modem, or possibly early ADSL at 512kbps or so.
Today, even the minimal embedded devices and cellphones that are provisioned
with SCEP have many times that capacity.
