From the perspective an Enterprise that runs these applications and has invested HEAVILY in the debugging networks......... The reason we are debugging these networks is so that "The 5-6 order of magnitude of folks using them" will have good service. If they do not, they will consider competitors and/or generate a litany service calls or complaints. I.E. When these "Folks" are slow or not working they are just as unhappy as we are. -----Original Message----- From: TLS [mailto:tls-bounces@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Stephen Farrell Sent: Friday, September 23, 2016 4:06 AM To: Yuhong Bao <YuhongBao_386@hotmail.com>; BITS Security <BITSSecurity@fsroundtable.org>; tls@ietf.org Subject: Re: [TLS] Industry Concerns about TLS 1.3 On 22/09/16 19:36, Yuhong Bao wrote: > This also reminds me of > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1188657 Yuk. Prioritising the needs of those debugging networks over the maybe 5-6 orders of magnitude more folks using them is ass-backwards IMO. That result looks to me like a very bad decision if I'm following it correctly.

Financial institutions are required by law to store communications of certain employees (including broker/dealers) in a form that ensures that they can be retrieved and read in case an investigation into improper behavior is initiated. The regulations which require retention of supervised employee communications initially focused on physical and electronic mail, but now extend to many other forms of communication including instant message, social media, and collaboration applications. All of these communications channels are protected using TLS. > > The impact on network diagnostics and troubleshooting will also be serious. TLS decryption of network packet traces is required when troubleshooting difficult problems in order to follow a transaction through multiple layers of infrastructure and isolate the fault domain.

Ensuring that every endpoint has a monitoring agent installed and functioning at all times is vastly more complex than ensuring that a network traffic inspection appliance is present and functioning.
