The Technical Plenary session is expected to be popular. It will be
held on Wednesday, 6 Nov 2013 at 0900 PST, and the agenda is below.
Reporting will be kept to a minimum so that the bulk of the session
can be dedicated to the technical topic. We have arranged three
speakers, but we expect a very lively open mic discussion to follow.
To help make this session available to everyone, even people that
cannot be in Vancouver, we have decided to live stream the plenary
session. You can watch the technical plenary at:

4. Technical Topic: Internet Hardening
New reports of large-scale Internet traffic monitoring appear almost
every day. We were all aware that targeted interception was taking
place, but the scale and scope in the recent reports is surprising.
Such scale was not envisaged during the design of many Internet
protocols; the threat is quite different than expected. Now, the
Internet community must consider the consequences.
While details of these attack techniques remain largely unknown, we
can talk about possible ways to harden the Internet in light of
pervasive Internet monitoring. We can take a closer look at our
protocols and the security properties that they provide.
A panel will summarize recent discussions and suggest potential IETF
actions to make large-scale monitoring more difficult.
