The IESG has approved the Internet-Drafts
* 'IPsec Configuration Policy Information Model'
<draft-ietf-ipsp-config-policy-model-07.txt>
* 'IP Security Policy Requirements'
<draft-ietf-ipsp-requirements-02.txt>
as a Proposed Standard. These documents are products of the IP Security
Policy Working Group. The IESG contact persons are R. Housley and Steve
Bellovin.
Technical Summary
These documents specify a policy framework, model, and PIB for IPsec.
RFC 2401 provides for complex "selectors" that describe what traffic
is to be encrypted, and under what conditions. These documents
provide a mechanism for specifying the policy, and for configuring
endpoints to use this policy.
Working Group Summary
There was debate about whether or not to use PIBs -- and then
discussion about the IESG's policy regarding PIBs and standards
track.
Protocol Quality
This protocol was reviewed for the IESG by Steve Bellovin.
