The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'The RC4-HMAC Kerberos Encryption Types Used by Microsoft Windows ' <draft-jaganathan-rc4-hmac-03.txt> as an Informational RFC This draft describes the rc4 encryption types implemented originally in Windows 2000. These encryption types have been implemented in a wide variety of Kerberos implementations from Microsoft and other vendors. The IETF Kerberos community strongly supported the publication of this document as an informational document in order to document these encryption types. The reliance on md4 and the concern about RC4 distinguishers makes these encryption types unsuitable for a standards track protocol. The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send any comments to the iesg@ietf.org or ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2006-09-08.
