Pervasive monitoring attacks on the privacy of Internet users are of
serious concern to both user and operator communities. RFC 7258
discusses the critical need to protect users' privacy when developing
IETF specifications and also recognizes that making networks
unmanageable to mitigate pervasive monitoring is not an acceptable
outcome: an appropriate balance is needed. This document discusses
current security and network operations as well as management
practices that may be impacted by the shift to increased use of
encryption to help guide protocol development in support of
manageable and secure networks.
