[saag] "Privacy in IETF Protocols" at IETF83

[Henry Story <[e-mail]>]

I very much appreciated Ian Walden's talk today at IETF83 meeting in 
Paris [1] He mentioned that the EU directives made it a legal requirement 
to make the use of cookies transparent to the users. In the questions 
and answers session I mentioned work by Mozilla that gave a very good UI
demonstration of how this could be done. You can find the blog post by 
Azza Raskin where he developed this here:

He was working on a more cookie oriented approach, but this would also work very
well for TLS, and there is an issue open for this on Google Chrome for example

It is good to see that the legislation is now providing an extra incentive to
for browser vendors to provide good clean transparent user interfaces.
