[ietf-privacy] Fwd: [irsg] IRSG review request draft-irtf-icnrg-icn-lte-4g-07

[Mallory Knodel <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

Just sending this here since I suggested they include a privacy 
considerations section and appear to have accepted that.

In general ICN has a privacy issue, so interested if anyone has a 
general take or links to that effect. Even a joint draft between ICNRG 
and PEARG might be a very useful contribution as caching becomes ubiquitous,

Hi everyone,

On behalf of the IRSG I reviewed this draft. I have two main points and 
a general observation that some sections will require extensive copy 
editing by the RFC Editor, which would be nice to avoid by the authors 
providing that if another version is imminent anyway. My two main points 
relate to privacy and references.

Generally it seems that privacy trade offs from IP to ICN, even in 
IPoICN, aren't made explicit and I wonder as well if the mere existence 
of the transport convergence layer, even when useless for IP to IP, 
isn't of concern. As noted in RFC 7945, ICN as an architecture trades 
privacy for efficiency, where "The activity of users is significantly 
more exposed to the scrutiny of cache owners..." In the conclusion 
lawful intercept is mentioned, which I imagine would be expedited by the 
TCL even for IP to IP. Wondering if I could convince you to introduce a 
privacy considerations section that states plainly the trade off and the 
risks of this architecture, even for native IP.

On references, there are a few points:

  * point-h2020.eu appears to no longer be a functional domain.

  * I'm unable to dig into IPoICN because the IEEE paper referenced is 
inaccessible without a subscription-- I couldn't even buy it, though I 
tried. It's possible another link, or another publication, even if 
paywalled might be better.

  * HICN reference, the draft is now in version -04 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-muscariello-intarea-hicn/

  * Similarly ICN5G is now in -04 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ravi-icnrg-5gc-icn/

  * And ICNLOWPAN is now -08 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-icnrg-icnlowpan/

  * The NGMN citation link is incorrect or broken, but it appears there 
is a PDF of this publication online, the integrity of which I can't verify.
