The IESG is asking the community to re-review the new version of the following document, as a result of the previous last call and IESG evaluation: - 'Opportunistic Security: Some Protection Most of the Time' <draft-dukhovni-opportunistic-security-05.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2014-11-18. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. In particular, the IESG needs to know about substantive issues that have not been addressed appropriately in this version. Comments should clearly mark each actionable issue that they are raising, and should clearly state what action they are asking for. Please suggest specific text, where that is appropriate. Abstract This document defines the concept "Opportunistic Security" in the context of communications protocols. Protocol designs based on Opportunistic Security use encryption even when authentication is not available, and use authentication when possible, thereby removing barriers to the widespread use of encryption on the Internet. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dukhovni-opportunistic-security/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dukhovni-opportunistic-security/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
