FYI -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [saag] new list for discussion of end-to-end email security/privacy improvements Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2014 19:20:41 +0100 From: Stephen Farrell <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]>
Hi all, Following on from discussion in Toronto in appaswg and saag, and a subsequent request, we've created a mailing list for discussing this topic. Pete Resnick and I will initially manage the list. If you're interested, please subscribe. Once Pete and I figure there's a good enough set of folks subscribed we'll fire off a starter email. That usually takes a few days, so probably Wed-Thu this week. The list [1] description is: There is significant interest in improving the privacy-related properties of Internet mail. One focus of current efforts is on the per-hop (connection-based) protections provided by TLS. However a wide range of other work has a focus on end-to-end protection, at the Internet scale of billions of end users and perhaps millions of operators. Such work typically involves new forms of mail header or body protection, new public key management (compared to S/MIME or PGP), and security mechanisms more appropriate for mobile/web user-agents. Other security-relevant approaches may be discussed if needed. Various proposals and development efforts on this topic are underway outside the IETF. This mailing list provides an IETF venue for discussion of elements that might be commonly needed by such efforts and to identify work that the IETF could do to aid in achieving better end-to-end security deployed for Internet email. Cheers, S.
