IAB Statement on Internet Confidentiality
....
We recommend that encryption be deployed throughout the protocol stack
since there is not a single place within the stack where all kinds of
communication can be protected.
...
Just to call attention to the fact that this is a departure from what
was IETF practice in the past.
All those arguments about whether to do STARTTLS or S/MIME are
obsolete, we need both.
