IAB The Internet Society will forward this liaison statement to

Thanks for this heads up.
The ASCII art diagrams in the PDF at:

are regretably formatted with non-constant size spaces, so the diagrams
are perhaps much less useful than they could be.  Perhaps this document
could also be made available in .txt format?

IAB The TISec proponents have indicated that they believe that
IAB TISec is different than IPsec.  This liaison is a response this
IAB statement.  It points out how IPsec supports the same
IAB functionality, and it encourages 

IAB the TISec proponents to engage in the IETF process to specify
IAB the use of their national algorithms in IPsec, as has been done
IAB for other national algorithms. 

I concur strongly with the IAB view, thank you for this.

Liaison Statement From the IESG and IAB to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6 on TISec

[IAB Chair]

The Liaison statement can be found here: 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/liaison/1258/

The Internet Society will forward this liaison statement to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6 on 
their letterhead.  This will carry more weight than a statement just from the 
IESG and IAB because the Internet Society holds a Class A liaison with SC6 on 
behalf of the IETF.

This liaison is provided to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6 because they are entertaining 
adopting the TISec.  The IESG and the IAB believe TISec provides the same 
services as IPsec.  The IESG rejected a request for a protocol number 
assignment for TISec in August of last year for that reason, but the IESG 
offered an experimental code point while TISec was under review in ISO.  A 
liaison was sent to ISO informing them of this decision in December (see ).

The TISec proponents have indicated that they believe that TISec is different 
than IPsec.  This liaison is a response this statement.  It points out how 
IPsec supports the same functionality, and it encourages
the TISec proponents to engage in the IETF process to specify the use of their 
national algorithms in IPsec, as has been done for other national algorithms.

On behalf of the IAB,
Russ Housley

On behalf of the IESG,
