The IESG has received a request from the Common Authentication Technology Next Generation WG (kitten) to consider the following document: - 'A Pseudo-Random Function (PRF) for the Kerberos V Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API) Mechanism' <draft-ietf-kitten-rfc4402bis-01.txt> as Proposed Standard 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 2015-12-04. 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 This document defines the Pseudo-Random Function (PRF) for the Kerberos V mechanism for the Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API), based on the PRF defined for the Kerberos V cryptographic framework, for keying application protocols given an established Kerberos V GSS-API security context. This document obsoletes RFC 4402 and reclassifies that document as historic. RFC 4402 starts the PRF+ counter at 1, however a number of implementations starts the counter at 0. As a result, the original specification would not be interoperable with existing implementations. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-kitten-rfc4402bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-kitten-rfc4402bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
