Routing Area Security Design Team Charter

Internet security threats have evolved in the last couple of years and questions are arising about the security properties of many long-standing IETF routing protocols and new protocols under development. This is an opportunity for the Routing Area to evaluate current assumptions and make recommendations for new work.

The Routing Area will kick off a Routing Area-wide Design team with support from the OPS Area and Security Area. The first phase will consist of a small team:

Stewart Bryant [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>
Jeff Haas [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>
Acee Lindem [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>
Russ White [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>

They will be responsible to set up an environment (e.g. wiki), identify work items, and coordinating overall the work effort. It is the expectation this initial phase will be done by May 1. A second phase will consist of small teams working on targeted items. Work items will include review of current deployments (use models) and threat models, evaluation criteria and useful advice when doing new work (on existing protocols and new protocols), and recommendations on where new work is needed in cooperation with the responsible working group. The work will have support from the Security Area and OPS Area.

The design team will have a private mailing list for this first phase and can be reached at [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>.

Deborah
