A new IETF non-working group email list has been created.

Purpose:
TLS typically authenticates servers using public key infrastructure, specifically certificates signed by a certificate authority already trusted by the TLS client. In local domains (e.g., home) obtaining such a certificate for printers, internet of things devices is problematic due to technical complexity, IPv4 NAT and IPv6 firewalls, lack of domain ownership, and other reasons. 

This list is intended to discuss alternative technologies to identify and authenticate servers so that TLS can be used with those servers on local domains.

This list belongs to IETF area: OPS
