The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Minimal IP Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)' (draft-ietf-lwig-minimal-esp-12.txt) as Informational RFC
This document is the product of the Light-Weight Implementation Guidance Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Erik Kline and Éric Vyncke. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lwig-minimal-esp/ Technical Summary This document describes the minimal properties IP Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) implementation needs to meet to remain interoperable with the standard RFC4303 ESP. Such a minimal version of ESP is not intended to become a replacement of the RFC 4303 ESP. Instead, a minimal implementation is expected to be optimized for constrained environment while remaining interoperable with implementations of RFC 4303 ESP. In addition, this document also provides some considerations to implement minimal ESP in a constrained environment which includes limiting the number of flash writes, handling frequent wakeup / sleep states, limiting wakeup time, or reducing the use of random generation. This document does not update or modify RFC 4303, but provides a compact description of how to implement the minimal version of the protocol. RFC 4303 remains the authoritative description. Working Group Summary There were several rounds of feedback, including from the incoming SEC AD. Authors feel feedback has been incorporated, with the focus being that the document is defining an ESP profile for resource-constrained devices. Document Quality Nothing of note. Thanks to all the Last Call feedback and directorate reviews received so far. Personnel Mohit Sethi is the document Shepherd. Erik Kline is the responsible Area Director. _______________________________________________ Lwip mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/lwip
