The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Security Version 3' (draft-ietf-nfsv4-rpcsec-gssv3-17.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Network File System Version 4 Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Spencer Dawkins and Martin Stiemerling. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-rpcsec-gssv3/ Technical Summary This document specifies version 3 of the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) security protocol (RPCSEC_GSS). This protocol provides support for multi-principal authentication of client hosts and user principals to server (constructed by generic composition), security label assertions for multi-level and type enforcement, structured privilege assertions, and channel bindings. Working Group Summary The journey within the working group for this document and the technologies that it encompasses has been a somewhat longer process than the norm. However, the results are that many of the features have been implemented independently and the feedback has been effectively folded back into this document. Thus the document quality is very good and the resultant features have been constructed thoughfully and with working group consensus. Document Quality From the above, the process, from a time perspective, has been longer than most but represents thoughtfulness, implementation feedback and the results have been a high quality document. The editing and feedback has been done by experience working group members with input from the entire community. Overall, I, as document shepherd and working group co-chair, am very pleased with the results. Personnel Document Shepherd: Spencer Shepler Area Director: Martin Stiemerling
