Re: [Sframe] [dispatch] Request session at IETF 108 dispatch

To address the related work point:

You're correct that PERC is the main touch point, MLS less so; also RTCWeb
if that were still going on.  Very directly, this work is doing basically
the same thing as PERC double encryption (RFC 8723).  The key difference is
decoupling between the hop-by-hop and end-to-end security contexts.  In
PERC, the E2E context uses some information from the HBH SRTP packet.  So
the fields used by the E2E context have to be unmodified, well, end to end,
so that a clean media path is a prerequisite for E2E.  (Where "clean" means
"don't modify" or "modify in accordance with PERC")  This dependency makes
it much harder to deploy E2E in practices.  In addition, once the E2E layer
is decoupled from the HBH layer, it is much easier to transmit it over
alternative HBH-secure transports, such as QUIC datagrams, WebTransport, or
RIPT.

FWIW, if I were to suggest a DISPATCH outcome, a focused WG seems like the
right level of attention to me.  The topic is worth working on and would
benefit from an IETF-consensus specification, but the document isn't yet
mature enough for AD sponsorship.
