[Pce] Re: Deb Cooley's No Objection on draft-ietf-pce-sid-algo-26: (with COMMENT)

["Samuel Sidor (ssidor)" <[e-mail]>]

Thanks Deb, Dhruv, Ketan for comment and discussion.

I'll update last statement in “Security Considerations” to:

“Hence, securing the PCEP session using Transport Layer Security (TLS) [RFC8253<https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-pce-sid-algo-27.html#RFC8253>][I-D.ietf-pce-pceps-tls13<https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-pce-pcep-extension-pce-controller-sr-11.html#I-D.ietf-pce-pceps-tls13>] is RECOMMENDED as per the recommendations and best current practices described in [RFC9325<https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-pce-sid-algo-27.html#RFC9325>]."

Regards,
Samuel

Hi Ketan, Deb,

The authors can also add an additional reference to - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-pceps-tls13/ alongside RFC8253.
It is in the RFC editor queue.

Thanks!
Dhruv

Hi Deb,

The current text in Section 9, reads as follows:

Hence, securing the PCEP session using Transport Layer Security (TLS) [RFC8253<https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-pce-sid-algo-27.html#RFC8253>] is RECOMMENDED as per the recommendations and best current practices described in [RFC9325<https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-pce-sid-algo-27.html#RFC9325>]

So, it does cover RFC9325 that you have pointed out. There isn't an update of RFC8253 that is available, and so hopefully this is adequate indication of the shift to TLS 1.3?

Thanks,
Ketan

Thank you for the secdir review by Alexey Melnikov.

Section 9:  RFC 8253 is outdated because of the publication of TLS1.3
(RFC8446). Consider listing BCP 195 vice RFC 9325 to ensure the most recent
guidance for the implementation of TLS.
