CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_


Reported by Ron Sharp/AT&T

Minutes of the Commercial Internet Protocol Security Option Working
Group (CIPSO)

Twenty-eight IETF members attended the CIPSO Working Group meeting.  The
meeting started with Ron Sharp providing a brief introduction of the
Working Group's purpose and history.  This was followed by a concise
description of CIPSO. The current status of the Internet-Draft was given
with emphasis on the fact that the specification has still not reached
Proposed Standard after more than a year of trying.

Attendees were warned that there were two versions of CIPSO in the
Internet-Draft remote directories.  Since then the situation has been
corrected.  The latest version of CIPSO is dated March 9, 1993.  There
was some concern about the file name of the Internet-Draft in the
directories and Steve Crocker agreed to look into it and change it.

Ron described the changes made in the most recent version of CIPSO. Most
of the changes were organizational with some addition of information to
improve clarity.  There was a new release tag added in this version.  A
couple of members were concerned as to the proper processing of the
release tag and Ron agreed to follow up on this.

Noel Nazario of NIST provided a description of the work being done on
the new NIST GOSIP security label.  He is soliciting comments for this
new label, particularly on how it relates or should relate to CIPSO.

The remainder of the time was left for discussion.  Three of the people
present were concerned that the specification needed more information
such as pseudo code to assist implementors.  It was noted that over ten
companies have successfully implemented CIPSO with an earlier
specification and that it has gone through interoperability testing
successfully.

The discussion ended with Steve Crocker agreeing to send detailed
comments to Ron Sharp as to what is needed in order for the
specification to go to Proposed Standard.
