Title : Opportunistic Security as a Countermeasure to Pervasive Monitoring
Author : Stephen Kent

Abstract:
This document was prepared as part of the IETF response to concerns
about "pervasive monitoring" (PM) as articulated in
[I-D.farrell-perpass-attack]. It begins by describing the current
criteria (discussed at the STRINT workshop [STRINT]) for addressing
concerns about PM. It then examines terminology that has been used
in IETF standards (and in academic publications) to describe
encryption and key management techniques, with a focus on
authentication vs. anonymity. Based on this analysis, it propose a
new term, "opportunistic security" to describe a goal for IETF
security protocols, one countermeasure to pervasive monitoring.
