IPsec transforms
[personal opinion]
I think the WG should seriously consider moving both RFC-1828 and
RFC-1829 to Historic. Hugo's HMAC transform should be seriously
considered to be moved to Proposed Standard and replace RFC-1828
as the mandatory-to-implement AH transform. Similarly, Jim Hughes'
DES+MD5+replay-protection ESP transform should be reviewed/edited
and then seriously considered to be moved to Proposed Standard
and replace RFC-1829 as the mandatory-to-implement ESP transform.
[WG chair speaking]
This is precisely the correct time to consider these kinds of
significant technical changes to the IPsec transforms.
Because RFC-1825 thru RFC-1827 are not yet ready to be considered
for advancement to Draft Standard, RFC-1828 and RFC-1829 cannot yet
be considered for advancement to Draft Standard in any event. Any
appeals of this decision should be made directly to the Security AD
and should NOT clutter this list further.
In general, if one believes the chair(s) have made a meaningful
incorrect process decision the correct procedure is to appeal to
the Security AD. The Security AD is empowered to overrule the
chair(s) of the WG.
