The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Opportunistic Security: some protection most of the time' <draft-dukhovni-opportunistic-security-01.txt> as Informational RFC
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2014-08-05. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This memo defines the term "opportunistic security". In contrast to the established approach of delivering strong protection some of the time, opportunistic security strives to deliver at least some protection most of the time. The primary goal is therefore broad interoperability, with security policy tailored to the capabilities of peer systems. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dukhovni-opportunistic-security/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dukhovni-opportunistic-security/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. This document and a predecessor have been the subject of discussion on the saag mailing list. [1] [1] https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/saag/current/maillist.html
