CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
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.
