draft-winter-radsec-01 published



Hello,

there is a new version of the RadSec draft available under

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-winter-radsec-01.txt

It contains the changes which were announced in IETF70 in Vancouver.

The two main points are:

- mention TLS with shared secrets as a possible means of establishing the TLS 
tunnel (though no implementations currently offer that option)
- The CA selection during the TLS handshake. This was presented in the 
Vancouver meeting, but the problem has two sides: server-to-client signalling 
of acceptable CAs can be signalled with TLS 1.1, as presented in the 
Vancouver meeting. The other way round, client-to-server signalling, is not 
possible with TLS 1.1. There is ongoing work in the tls working group though, 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tls-rfc4366-bis-01.txt , which 
will allow a Trusted CA indication later. A note that this signalling is the 
suggested behaviour as soon as that draft is ratified is added in the current 
radsec draft.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
