[Roll] security solutions for ROLL

[Michael Richardson <[e-mail]>]

1) there is an Security AD DISCUSS from Stephen Farrell/Tim Polk.
   http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-roll-security-framework/ballot/#stephen-farrell
   It has been there for 9 months, and we need to act on it, because
   this DISCUSS is keeping draft-ietf-roll-of0-20 from advancing,
   and that will keep draft-ietf-roll-rpl-19 from being published.

So to be clear, this chain of dependancies/references means that while
rpl-19 has been done for some time, it won't get published until we do
something.

Stephen Farrell will lift his DISCUSS on this and let us proceed if he
sees some credible plan to get useable security into the layer-3 of
RPL.  

For a lot of you, you have assumed security at layer-2 is enough, and
you may never care about this mechanism, but I still need your
participation here.  

2) We will need to provide, in the draft-ietf-roll-security-framework,
   a clear set of security related *questions* that each applicability
   statement will need to answer.  In esssence, this is a template
   that needs to be filled out.

3) A proposal for moving forward is to adopt/adapt MIKEY
   (RFC3830) for our uses.
   This has been proposed in:
      draft-alexander-roll-mikey-lln-key-mgmt 

   This draft needs to be resubmitted for the WG to consider it.
   (A rumour is that it can be found at: 
     http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-alexander-roll-mikey-lln-key-mgmt-02.txt
   )

  The WG is open to other proposals, but they need to come in quickly.
  We do not need to complete the work, but we do need to know what work
we need to do, and we need to update our milestones to include that work
in order that we can progress.
