- Description of Working Group:
- The Commercial Internet Protocol Security Option Working Group is
- chartered to define an IP security option that can be used to pass security
- information within and between security domains. This new security option
- will be modular in design to provide developers with a single software
- environment which can support multiple security domains.
-
- The CIPSO protocol will support a large number of security domains. New
- security domains will be registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers
- Authority (IANA) and will be available with minimal difficulty to all
- parties.
-
- There is currently in progress another IP security option referred to as
- IPSO (RFC 1108). IPSO is designed to support the security labels used by
- the U.S. Department of Defense. CIPSO will be designed to provide labeling for
- the commercial, U.S. civilian and non-U.S. communities.
-
- The Trusted Systems Interoperability Group (TSIG) has developed a document
- which defines a structure for the proposed CIPSO option. The Working Group
- will use this document as a foundation for developing an IETF CIPSO
- specification.
