The IAB published RFC 7624 in response to several revelations of
pervasive attacks on Internet communications.  This document
considers the implications of protocol designs that associate
metadata with encrypted flows.  In particular, it asserts that
designs that share metadata only by explicit actions at the host are
preferable to designs in which middleboxes insert metadata.
