The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Design considerations for Metadata Insertion' <draft-hardie-privsec-metadata-insertion-05.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-02-21. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The IAB has published [RFC7624] in response to several revelations of pervasive attack on Internet communications. This document considers the implications of protocol designs which associate metadata with encrypted flows. In particular, it asserts that designs which do so by explicit actions of the end system are preferable to designs in which middleboxes insert them. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hardie-privsec-metadata-insertion/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hardie-privsec-metadata-insertion/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. There are some minor nits noted by I-D nits that we'll fix as we go.
