The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Security requirements for the Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) protocol ' <draft-ietf-ipdvb-sec-req-09.txt> as an Informational RFC This document is the product of the IP over DVB Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Mark Townsley and Jari Arkko. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipdvb-sec-req-09.txt Technical Summary This document provides a threat analysis and derives the security requirements when using the Transport Stream, TS, to support an Internet network-layer using the Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) defined in RFC4326. The document also provides the motivation for link-layer security for a ULE Stream. A ULE Stream may be used to send IPv4 packets, IPv6 packets, and other Protocol Data Units (PDUs) to an arbitrarily large number of Receivers supporting unicast and/or multicast transmission. Working Group Summary This document builds on RFC 4326, and identifies a set of security-related topics that impact IP operation over a range of broadcast links supporting IP. Document Quality The IPDVB WG has reached consensus that this document is ready for publication as an informational RFC. This document does not define a protocol or new mechanism. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
