[perpass] Fwd: RFC 7624 on Confidentiality in the Face of Pervasive Surveillance: A Threat Model and Problem Statement

Hiya,

Just closing the loop on another bit of promised work that has
been completed - well done and thanks to all who helped!

And don't forget that this list is still the right place to
suggest potential new bits of work the IETF could be doing in
this space. (This list being where we do triage on such.)

Cheers,
S.

Since the initial revelations of pervasive surveillance in 2013,
several classes of attacks on Internet communications have been
discovered.  In this document, we develop a threat model that
describes these attacks on Internet confidentiality.  We assume an
attacker that is interested in undetected, indiscriminate
eavesdropping.  The threat model is based on published, verified
attacks.
