The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Issues and Requirements for SNI Encryption in TLS' (draft-ietf-tls-sni-encryption-09.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Transport Layer Security Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Benjamin Kaduk and Roman Danyliw. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tls-sni-encryption/ Technical Summary This draft describes the general problem of encryption of the Server Name Identification (SNI) parameter. The proposed solutions hide a Hidden Service behind a Fronting Service, only disclosing the SNI of the Fronting Service to external observers. The draft lists known attacks against SNI encryption, discusses the current "co-tenancy fronting" solution, and presents requirements for future TLS layer solutions. Working Group Summary Some working group members are not in favor of encrypting the SNI. However, the working group has consensus for continued work on the general topic of SNI encryption. Document Quality This document describes the problem and does not define a protocol. The document has been reviewed by the TLS working group.
