[Homenet-babel-sec] Security Design Team - July is coming!

[Mark Townsley <[e-mail]>]

Dear Babel Security Design Team,

At IETF 98 in Chicago, after the presentation on draft-ietf-homenet-babel-profile, the issue of what to do about routing security was brought up:

https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/98/minutes/minutes-98-homenet-00.txt <https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/98/minutes/minutes-98-homenet-00.txt>
We ended with the action to create a “Small work team to look at issue led by Ted. 5 people raised hands, including Ted, Pierre, Barbara Stark…”. We don’t want to dictate specifically all of the “issues” at hand in this email, but they included such items as:

Network-wide shared keys vs bilateral key exchange
Determination of the network perimeter

If you are receiving this email, you have either been volunteered yourself by signing up to this list or been cordially invited by your chairs  to be in the homenet security design team. If you signed up in error or cannot participate, please unsubscribe.

Ted has agreed to lead the group, including getting you together for online meetings if that is necessary, edit documents, etc. He even said something about writing code, which as pointed out by Juliusz in the meeting, has been a hallmark of all homenet work published thus far. It’s also a good way to ensure that the design team’s recommendation is correct.

The submission deadline for internet drafts is the 3rd of July, about 6 weeks away.  Before then it is highly desirable that the team spend some time between now and then to write up a preliminary design, either in the form of edits to the babel-profile document or (if the design is substantial) as a standalone Homenet Perimeter Security document per our milestones. We would expect to schedule substantive time during our face to face meeting in Prague to discuss your design recommendation. 

Sincerely,

Mark & Ray
