MSEC met on Tuesday late afternoon. We discussed one WG draft, an update to GDOI. The latest version had substantive changes related to the safe use of counter modes in a group with multiple senders. It will go through another short WG last call to review those changes, and then be progressed. Two individual drafts were discussed. The first changes IANA rules for MIKEY name spaces, primarily relaxing the rules from some of the registries to "Specification Required". This relaxation seems appropriate as updates to the MIKEY all seem to be coming from specifications published outside of the IETF. The second draft presents a protocol for adapting GDOI to be an IKEv2 exchange. Consensus of the WG was that both documents should be published, but are likely to be progressed as individual drafts so that MSEC can finish its work and shut down.
