The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Guidelines for Cryptographic Algorithm Agility and Selecting Mandatory-to-Implement Algorithms' <draft-iab-crypto-alg-agility-06.txt> as Best Current Practice 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 2015-08-17. 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. Abstract Many IETF protocols use cryptographic algorithms to provide confidentiality, integrity, authentication or digital signature. Communicating peers must support a common set of cryptographic algorithms for these mechanisms to work properly. This memo provides guidelines to ensure that protocols have the ability to migrate from one mandatory-to-implement algorithm suite to another over time. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-iab-crypto-alg-agility/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-iab-crypto-alg-agility/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. There have been some recent comments on the saag list that will be treated as last call comments. (See the thread at [1]) [1] https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/saag/current/msg06373.html
