[AusNOG] Consensus from the IETF 88 Technical Plenary - Internet hardening

[George Fong]

Apologies for the cross posting but I think this is one worth tracking:


A sad but inevitable resolution of where things might need to go. This is
a first take, reported on Google+ of the Consensus reached.


*/Arturo Servin originally shared to IETF (Discussion):/*
*//*
The consensus today (taken from the transcript of the Technical Plenary)
appear to be: 


1 "WE ALL BELIEVE THAT PERVASIVE SURVEILLANCE IS AN ATTACK AND THE IETF
NEEDS TO ADJUST OUR THREAT MODEL TO CONSIDER IT WHEN DEVELOPING
STANDARDS TRACK SPECIFICATIONS, SO WE SHOULD CONSIDER THIS EVOLVED
THREAT MODEL WHEN CONSIDERING WHETHER TO STANDARDS TRACK SPECIFICATIONS
ARE ACCEPTABLE OR NOT" 

2 "THE IETF SHOULD INCLUDE ENCRYPTION EVEN OUTSIDE OF AUTHENTICATION
WHERE PRACTICAL." 

3 "THE IETF SHOULD STRIVE FOR END-TO-END ENCRYPTION EVEN WHEN THERE ARE
MIDDLE BOXES IN THE PATH." 

4 " THE IETF SHOULD CREATE SECURE VERSIONS OF POPULAR NON-SECURE
PROTOCOLS"


Cheers
