RE: Security for various IETF services

I haven't had an answer to my questions from Stephen.

"nonetheless access to that data
should use best practices for security and privacy."

why?

" New services will however generally only be made
available in ways that use security protocols such as
TLS."

again, why?


"Because... SECURITY!" would not be a good answer.

 Silence could easily be misconstrued as acceptance.

  Stephen asked about the last sentence:

  New services will however generally only be made
  available in ways that use security protocols such as
  TLS.

Which to my eye looks like a conclusion;  without shred of justification and 
before any meaningful discussion has taken place.


26 messages on and the consensus thus far is that an answer to Lloyd Wood's 
one-liner is very much required.
