A new IETF non-working group email list has been created.

List address: [email-masked]
Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/secauth/current/maillist.html
To subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/secauth

Purpose: 

This list is for the discussions relating to using the IP layer as a means of authentication in other upper layers, especially the application layer, by considering both security and privacy on one hand and performance on the other hand. The goal is to come up with the implementation of a library for this purpose. The focus is on both nodes with limited resources (battery, memory, etc) and other nodes. We are also discussing the possible implementation or implementation barriers from operational points of view.

For additional information, please contact the list administrators.
