[tcpm] Matthew J Zekauskas: TCPM minutes, IETF70, edited version

Matt sent these to us, but then noted he should have copied the list.
Please send corrections soon.  The final version is due Friday, I
believe.

Here's a version of the TCPM minutes I think is suitable for posting,
and getting general comments...

I've attached it as text.

Joe: the audio cut out on the discussion that begins "There was a
question about the use of option types" -- I'm not sure fully caught the
gist of the discussion, so you might want to review it.  Actually, I'll
duplicate it here:

  There was a question about the use of option types.  Joe said we could
  use a single option type, which the security association would encode
  (if you didn't have the right algorithm, you could not verify the
  stream).  The reason for multiple option types is that it is clear
  when we change the MAC; it's really mostly for the human beings, so
  that they note we are switching to something completely different.
  Sandy noted that it's also easier for humans to write the
  implementation.  Joe said that it wasn't strictly necessary, though.
  We are not going to use the MD5 hash as a viable algorithm for
  TCP-AUTH.  Thus, the hash would never generate a result that would
  collide with something else.

Thanks,

--Matt
