[dane] Questions from IESG review #2 - From Russ Housley

[Warren Kumari <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

There are a number of questions that came out of the IESG Evaluation on draft-ietf-dane-protocol-21 that we would like the WG input on…

I am not going to try summarize the discussions / views -- the discussions are short and / or subtle enough that you should read them yourself if you have an opinion / want more details.

Unless we hear SCOAT (Strong Clear Objections with Alternate Text) by Wednesday June 13th we will remove the old text.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Based on the briefing in the SAAG Session at IETF 83, I strongly
 suggest that this text be removed from Section 6.

At the time this is written, it is expected that there will be a new 
family of hash algorithms called SHA-3 within the next few years. 
It is expected that some of the SHA-3 algorithms will be mandatory
and/or recommended for TLSA records after the algorithms are fully
defined.  At that time, this specification will be updated.

-------------------------------------------

If folk disagree with removing this text, please read the SAAG minutes (http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/83/minutes/minutes-83-saag.txt), Tim's presentation on the SHA-3 Competition (http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/83/slides/slides-83-saag-0.pdf) and maybe the audio archives as well.

In case it wasn't obvious I too think this should be pulled. Speculating about the future gets us into tricky territory as does committing future folk to do stuff. If we mention that SHA-3 is coming and we'll rev the draft then, do we also need to mention SHA-4? SHA-17? SHA-33.3?  OMG, when will the madness stop?! ….Sorry, got a little carried away there….
