RFC 7258 The Internet Engineering Task Force has adopted RFC 7258, titled "Pervasive monitoring is an attack." It commits the IETF to work against pervasive monitoring (PM) in the design of its protocols going forward. " In particular, architectural decisions, including which existing
technology is reused, may significantly impact the vulnerability of a
protocol to PM. Those developing IETF specifications therefore need to
consider mitigating PM when making architectural decisions. Getting
adequate, early review of architectural decisions including whether
appropriate mitigation of PM can be made is important. Revisiting these
architectural decisions late in the process is very costly." |
