Invitation to join IETF proxy mailing list

[Katrin Hoeper <katrin.hoeper@nist.gov>]

Hi,

Security problems related to network proxies persistently come up in
several IETF WGs and may affect the security of existing IETF network
solutions while slowing down the progress of some current Internet
Drafts.

For this reason, Tim Polk and I organized an informal meeting in
Philadelphia at IETF 71 to discuss these so-called "proxy
problems" and their implications. As a 
result of our meeting, a proxy email list was created to further
investigate the proxy problems.

We decided to use AAA proxies as a starting point for our discussion on
the list. The long-term (and ideal) goal could be to extend the results
of the AAA proxy discussion in order to address proxy-related security
issues in general. However, for now we will focus on AAA
proxies.

This email serves as an invitation for anybody interested to join our
discussions on the list.
