The Security Issues in Network Event Logging (syslog) working group in the Security Area of the IETF has been rechartered. For additional information, please contact the Area Directors or the working group Chairs. Security Issues in Network Event Logging (syslog) --------------------------------------------------- Current Status: Active Working Group Chairs: * Chris Lonvick (clonvick@cisco.com) * David Harrington (ietfdbh@comcast.net) Security Area Directors: * Tim Polk (tim.polk@nist.gov) * Pasi Eronen (pasi.eronen@nokia.com) Security Area Advisor: * Pasi Eronen (pasi.eronen@nokia.com) Mailing Lists: General Discussion: syslog@ietf.org To Subscribe: syslog-request@ietf.org In Body: in body: (un)subscribe Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/syslog Description of Working Group: Syslog has been a de-facto standard for logging system events for long time. The syslog WG recently completed standardization of the syslog protocol (RFC 5424), secure transport of the syslog protocol over TLS (RFC 5425), and non-secure transport over UDP (RFC 5426). The WG under this charter will standardize a DTLS transport for syslog, providing a secure transport for syslog messages in cases where a connection-less transport is desired. The threats that this WG will primarily address are modification, disclosure, and masquerade. A secondary threat is message stream modification. These are consistent with those addressed in RFC 5425. Draft-feng-syslog-transport-dtls is already similar to RFC 5425 in this respect, so this draft will become the starting point for the WG document, which the WG will adjust as needed, and merge desired features from other sources, such as draft-petch-gerhards-syslog-transport-dtls, draft-hardaker-isms-dtls-tm, and draft-seggelmann-tls-dtls-heartbeat. The WG will also complete the ongoing work to specify a standardized mechanism for signing syslog messages (draft-ietf-syslog-sign). Goals and Milestones: Oct 2009 Submit a document that defines a message signing and ordering mechanism to the IESG for consideration as a PROPOSED STANDARD Mar 2010 Submit Syslog DTLS Transport Mapping to the IESG for consideration as a PROPOSED STANDARD _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
