The IESG has approved the Internet-Drafts * 'IPsec Configuration Policy Information Model' <draft-ietf-ipsp-config-policy-model-07.txt> * 'IP Security Policy Requirements' <draft-ietf-ipsp-requirements-02.txt> as a Proposed Standard. These documents are products of the IP Security Policy Working Group. The IESG contact persons are R. Housley and Steve Bellovin. Technical Summary These documents specify a policy framework, model, and PIB for IPsec. RFC 2401 provides for complex "selectors" that describe what traffic is to be encrypted, and under what conditions. These documents provide a mechanism for specifying the policy, and for configuring endpoints to use this policy. Working Group Summary There was debate about whether or not to use PIBs -- and then discussion about the IESG's policy regarding PIBs and standards track. Protocol Quality This protocol was reviewed for the IESG by Steve Bellovin.
