Minutes of the TLS working group meeting, 12 December 2000

The TLS working group met in a one-hour session at the 49th IETF in San Diego, CA. The meeting was chaired by (and minutes written by) Win Treese (treese@acm.org).

Agenda

In general, the working group needs to adopt some guidelines for how new applications for ciphersuites are handled. The IANA originally rejected the idea of managing the ciphersuites, but Win Treese will revisit the question with them.

Matt Hur of Cisco presented proposed revisions to the Kerberos cipher suites (draft-ietf-tls-kerb-00.txt). The specification details need work, and Eric Rescorla volunteered to help Matt with them.

The AES ciphersuites (draft-ietf-tls-ciphersuite-02.txt) were discussed. The general consensus of the group was that the draft is acceptable, with two changes:

John Linn of RSA presented a proposal (draft-ietf-tls-wireless-00.txt) for an extension mechanism and some specific extensions inspired by work with mobile and wireless devices. Some specific comments on the draft have been taken back to the authors.
