The IESG has no problem with the publication of 'The Mobile Application Part SECurity (MAPSEC) Domain of Interpretation (DOI) for the Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP)' <draft-arkko-map-doi-08.txt> as an Informational RFC. The IESG contact person is Russ Housley. Thank you, The IESG Secretary Technical Summary The Mobile Application Part (MAP) protocol is a signaling protocol for cellular networks. The MAP Security (MAPSEC) protocol provides a secure way to transport MAP messages. To use MAPSEC, however, Security Associations (SAs) are needed. This document defines how such SAs can be created automatically. We use the Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) as a framework for managing SAs and establishing keys. The framework can be specialized to a particular task. Such a specialization is called a Domain of Interpretation (DOI), and this document defines the MAPSEC DOI. This specialization is very similar to the Internet Key Exchange protocol and the ISAKMP specialization for IP Security, except that SAs for use with non-IP protocols are being negotiated. End-run Review This document was reviewed by Russ Housley for the IESG. IESG Note This document is not a candidate for any level of Internet Standard. The IETF disclaims any knowledge of the fitness of this document for any purpose, and in particular notes that it has not had IETF review for such things as security, congestion control or inappropriate interaction with deployed protocols. The RFC Editor has chosen to publish this document at its discretion. Readers of this document should exercise caution in evaluating its value for implementation and deployment. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
