RE: Security for various IETF services

[Randall Gellens <randy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My reaction is also to ask "Why?"  Security and privacy involve 
trade-offs where various costs (including operational difficulty) are 
weighed against the benefits, such as protecting information from 
unauthorized disclosure or modification.  So, I'd suggest that a 
blanket statement isn't a good idea, but rather, a service-by-service 
decision should be made.  For example, XMPP and document submission 
may justify requiring encryption while email and document retrieval 
might not.
