===================================
IETF-63 ISMS Session Summary
Tuesday August 2, 14:00 h - 16:00 h
===================================

In April the WG achieved (very rough) consensus on using an
encapsulated keying architecture (as used by the TLSM proposal).
At this meeting the WG progressed the decision on a transport
protocol to be used by ISMS.  Candidate protocols were TLS+SASL,
SSH, DTLS, and BEEP.

Among the proposals, DTLS is the only one based on UDP.  Since
DTLS is not yet commonly deployed and not extensively tested,
it was eliminated from the discussion after the WG agreed that
UDP transport is not necessarily required for the ISMS solution.
For all of the remaining three protocols there was support in
the WG.  Among them, SSH had clearly the strongest support,
mainly, because SSH is already widely deployed and used in network
management and thus could best achieve the goal of integrating the
ISMS solution into existing security infrastructures.  Within the
session there was a consensus on choosing only one protocol as work
item and there was rough consensus that this protocol would be SSH.
The consensus still needs to be confirmed on the mailing list.

Decisions made:
 - ISMS will work on one transport protocol only
 - Use SSH as transport protocol

Action items:
 - confirm WG consensus on decisions on the mailing list (August)
 - draft new charter, discuss on mailing list (August)
 - start work on SSH-based solution
