Hi Folks,

As Tom and Jurgen noted, Arijit Kumar Bose did send some notes to the Syslog mailing list. By the time I had snapped to, the system had timed most of them out. I finally got that last one approved and forwarded to the mailing list.

Arijit (and the IEC WG15) rightly notes that the RFCs are using deprecated cipher suits and the DTLS RFC is using a deprecated version.

Sean, Joe, and I worked out a -00 draft to address these issues. Like all -00 IDs, it's open to comments. :-) We know that there are some larger efforts underway to address TLS, DTLS and cipher suites. We're not going to try to do that here. Rather, we'd like to update RFCs 5425 and 6012 to get them compliant with current standards with a minimal impact to current implementations.

Sean is going to run this by the secdispatch group to see if they can make a recommendation on where this may be best addressed and discussed. I'm sure that we'll get some good input from the group here on the Syslog mail list, so please send in your comments and let's get these two RFCs updated to using current best practices.

Best regards and have a great weekend,
Chris
