Re[2]: Security for various IETF services

I agree, The Security and Risk Analysis  is major looks at how to redesign 
systems that are secure, how to measure risk, and how ensure that proper levels 
of privacy are maintained for individual  users.  Remember that security is a 
process, not a
product. not all security and privacy are resolved technically,  without 
forgeting that User is Weak node of chain. 
HSTS ,  TLS ,HTTPS  FTPS  or NSS / GnuTLS / OpenSSL  .   can  break  the IETF 
web site old tools.  but provide  levels of privacy and security . 
The delivery and maintenance team is responsible for on-going updating and 
monitoring, including security measures for access control and information 
confidentiality.  when there are mechanisms in place to establish
privacy and trust  .

I agree with those who've said a threat analysis is needed before
deciding access is limited to TLS or other secure alternative.

But we have that threat analysis, and the recommended mitigation is precisely 
"encrypt everything." The "pervasive monitoring" threat is analyzed by a 
number of perpass drafts, and Stephen has merely followed the conclusions of 
that analysis. There is no need to repeat that analysis for each and every 
tool that the IETF produces, and there is indeed a need for the IETF as a 
whole to "lead by example."
