Messaging Layer Security (mls) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Current status: Active WG Chairs: Nick Sullivan <[email protected]> Sean Turner <[email protected]> Secretaries: Katriel Cohn-Gordon <[email protected]> Assigned Area Director: Paul Wouters <[email protected]> Security Area Directors: Paul Wouters <[email protected]> Deb Cooley <[email protected]> Mailing list: Address: [email protected] To subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mls Archive: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/mls/ Group page: https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/mls/ Charter: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/charter-ietf-mls/ The Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol, RFC 9420, specifies a key establishment protocol that provides efficient asynchronous group key establishment with forward secrecy (FS) and post-compromise security (PCS) for groups in size ranging from two to thousands. The MLS WG will maintain the protocol and will work on the following MLS protocol extensions: * Support for use of MLS in protocols developed by the MIMI working group * Support for new credential types * Support for common operational patterns in messaging applications * Support for quantum resistance * Framework for safe extensibility * Detection of lost application messages * Support for sending messages to individual members of a group Many of the extensions to support these features will be included in draft-ietf-mls-extensions, but some of the extensions will be published in separate specifications. Milestones: Dec 2024 - Submit MLS extensions I-D to IESG as Proposed Standard Dec 2025 - Submit Additional Credentials I-D to IESG as Proposed Standard Dec 2026 - Post Quantum security for MLS _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
