Abstract:

   This document discusses principles for designing mechanisms that use
   or provide path signals, and calls for standards action in specific
   valuable cases.  RFC 8558 describes path signals as messages to or
   from on-path elements, and points out that visible information will
   be used whether it is intended as a signal or not.  The principles in
   this document are intended as guidance for the design of explicit
   path signals, which are encouraged to be authenticated and include a
   minimal set of parties and minimize information sharing.  These
   principles can be achieved through mechanisms like encryption of
   information and establishing trust relationships between entities on
   a path.
