- Reported by Steve Alexander/INTERACTIVE Systems Corporation
-
- Minutes of the TELNET Working Group (TELNET)
-
- The Telnet Working Group met the morning of Tuesday, November 19, 1991.
-
- An initial Agenda of possible topics included:
-
-
- o Administration
- o Authentication Option
- o Environment Option
- o Encryption Option
- o Future of the Working Group
-
-
- Steve Alexander has replaced Dave Borman as Working Group Chair and
- introduced himself to the group. Some members raised concerns about the
- functionality of the mailing list and Dave said he would look into it.
-
- We then discussed the Authentication Option and what needed to be done
- to publish it as an Experimental RFC:
-
-
- o Dave Borman will incorporate Jeff Schiller's security
- considerations
- o Kerberos IV and V documents will be split out
- o Ted T'so will verify the Kerberos IV draft
- o Dave Borman will talk to John Cole about Kerberos V
- o Four separate drafts will be issued for a two week comment period
-
- - Basic option
- - Kerberos IV
- - Kerberos V
- - SPX
-
-
- The next item was the Environment Option. This was fairly
- non-controversial.
-
-
- o Dave Borman will split well-defined and arbitrary variables
- o There was discussion about passing some sort of OSTYPE variable
- based on the Assigned Numbers list
- o Dave will transfer editing of this option to Steve
-
-
- Both of these are expected to be completed by the end of 1991.

-
- The next item was the encryption option and there was much spirited
- discussion around a security vs. performance balance.
-
-
- o The current encryption option cannot stop an active attacker
- o Having encryption on might be too slow on some PCs
-
-
- It was decided to send the current authentication option forward to
- Experimental and then work on tying authentication and encryption
- together.
-
-
- o Jeff Schiller will work with Steve Crocker to get expertise in this
- area.
