The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Updates to the Cipher Suites in Secure Syslog' (draft-ietf-uta-ciphersuites-in-sec-syslog-07.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Using TLS in Applications Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Paul Wouters, Francesca Palombini and Deb Cooley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-uta-ciphersuites-in-sec-syslog/ Technical Summary The Syslog Working Group published two specifications, namely RFC 5425 and RFC 6012, for securing the Syslog protocol using TLS and DTLS, respectively. This document updates the cipher suites in RFC 5425, Transport Layer Security (TLS) Transport Mapping for Syslog, and RFC 6012, Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) Transport Mapping for Syslog. It also updates the transport protocol in RFC 6012. Working Group Summary The WG consensus represents the concurrence of a few individuals. The document landed in UTA because it is the catch-all for ‘applications’ that rely on TLS that no longer have an active WG; this document was directed to UTA through the SECDISPATCH process. The only controversy was the common concern raised by some about making an algorithm that was previously a MUST a MUST NOT. The old MTI was TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, which was the one MTI in TLS 1.2 when it was published. Instead of MUST NOT it is now a SHOULD NOT. Document Quality There are no existing implementations, yet. This document was created to ensure future implementations do not perpetuate the use of deprecated algorithms. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Kent Watsen. The Responsible Area Director is Francesca Palombini. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- ietf-announce@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to ietf-announce-le...@ietf.org
