INTERNET STANDARDS - EVERYTHING IS RECOMMENDATORY

The usage depends on adoption

Created by Hardware &Software Companies

The concepts in standards may not have

been necessarily

implemented

Most of the work happens

in Working groups

Many Standard

Development Organizations

W3C FOUNDER

—134 Working Groups – Each working group has 2 or 3 Co-Chairs —Working Groups have a Charter that defines: – Purpose – Deliverables – Timeframe —Working Groups are created, re-chartered and concluded —Activities organized into 7 Areas – Each area has 2 or 3 Area Directors (ADs)

IETF WORKING GROUP & AREAS

Implementation is the Key in IETF.

ISOC Kolkata volunteers having practical

experience are well suited for fellowships and

standard submissions.

INTERNET STANDARDS - IETF PROTOCOLS THAT MAKE INTERNET WORK

TCP/IP —IPv4 (RFC791) and IPv6 (RFC2460…) —TCP (RFC675…) and UDP (RFC768) E-Mail —SMTP (RFC5321), IMAP (RFC3501) Network and Routing —BGP (RFC4271), OSPF (RFC2178…), MPLS (RFC3031)

DNS —DNS (RFCs 1034, 1035…) —DNSSEC (RFCs 4033, 4034 & 4035) —DANE (RFCs 6698, 7671…) Web —HTTP (RFC2616…) Security —TLS (RFCs 5246 & 6176)

FAST MOVING - IPV6 ACTIVITIES  — IPv6 now common across most working groups — Some key groups:

 – IPv6 Operations (v6ops) WG – provides operational guidance on deploying and operating IPv6 in new and existing networks.

 – IPv6 Maintenance (6man) WG – upkeep and advancement of IPv6 protocol specifications and addressing architecture.

 – Home Networking (homenet) WG – developing networking protocols for small residential networks.

 – Sunsetting IPv4 (sunset4) WG – discusses transition of IPv4 to IPv6 with view to deprecating IPv4.

FAST MOVING - DNS/DNSSEC ACTIVITIES  — DNS Operations (dnsop) WG – provides operational guidance on DNS software and services, administration of DNS zones, and DNSSEC.

 — DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities (dane) WG - developing mechanisms and techniques to allow establishment of cryptographically secured communications using information in the DNS.

 — DNS PRIVate Exchange (DPRIVE) WG – developing mechanisms to provide confidentiality to DNS transactions using TLS and/or DTLS.

FAST MOVING - ROUTING ACTIVITIES  — Secure Inter-Domain Routing (sidr) WG – improving the security of the routing infrastructure through the RPKI and BGPSEC specifications

 — SIDR Operations (sidrops) WG – developing operation guidance on deploying and operating SIDR in new and existing networks.

 — Global Routing Operations (grow) WG – considers the operational problems with the IPv4 and IPv6 global routing systems, including route leaks.

 — Inter-Domain Routing Working Group (idr) WG – improving the robustness and scalability of BGP by IPv4 and IPv6.

FAST MOVING - TRUST IDENTITY & PRIVACY ACTIVITIES  — Transport Layer Security (tls) WG – developing a cryptographic protocol to provide privacy and data integrity between communicating computer applications.

 — Using TLS in Applications (uta) WG - developing definitions for using TLS with application protocols, best practices for clients and servers, and guidance for developers.

 — Automated Certificate Management Environment (acme) WG – developing REST- based specifications for automating digital certificate issuance, validation, revocation and renewal. The basis of the Let’s Encrypt service.

 — Public Notary Transparency (trans) WG – developing mechanisms to allowing detection of mis-issued certificates.

 — CURves, Deprecating and a Little more Encryption (curves) WG – developing new cryptographic security, including new algorithms for DNSSEC and SSH.
