Re: Minutes from SAAG session at IETF 61


I'd recommend adding to the section discussing open mic:

Several people discussed requirements of security mechanisms to
achieve positive deployment experience.  There seemed to be general
agreement among participants in the discussion that security protocols
that can fit into whatever existing credential infrastructures are
available have had better deployment experience than protocols that
require a new credential infrastructure.  Participants also agreed
that it is desirable to create security protocols that can work with a
variety of credential infrastructures.  However, there are some environments,
like the global DNS, where a single solution is required.

Sam and all,

  Why does the global DNS as you put it, require a single solution?
In fact as the DNS changes, and/or evolves and grows, it would seem
illogical that a single solution, or one size fits all, would be workable
and/or viable..

  A protocol interface, that could interface or support multiple
security protocols would be a much more flexible and logical
approach as to addressing the global DNS as it evolves/changes...
