[Syslog] Proposed charter

[Chris Lonvick <clonvick at cisco.com>]

Hi Folks,

David and I discussed and we would like to propose the following as a new 
charter.

The goal that is listed is for what we have commitment at this time.  We 
can add more goals but that will only happen if we have solid commitment 
for people who will write a document and for people who will review it.

If you really want something that's in the ppt (you can find that in the 
on-line agenda) to be included in this charter, then get your comments to 
the list.

We would appreciate any comments to this draft charter before the WG 
meeting on Tuesday.

Description of Working Group:

  This working group has standardized the syslog protocol (RFC5424), plus
  a TLS secured transport (RFC5425), and a nonsecure UDP transport (RFC
  5426). The WG under this charter will standardize a DTLS transport for
  syslog, providing a secure transport for syslog messages in cases where
  a connection-less transport is desired.  The threats that this WG will
  primarily address are modification, disclosure, and masquerade.  A
  secondary threat is message stream modification.  These threats are
  consistent with those addressed in the creation of RFC 5425.

  The syslog Working Group has the following objective:

  A document will be produced that uses DTLS as a secure transport for the
  delivery of syslog messages.  The resulting document will be consistent
  with the threats addressed in Transport Layer Security (TLS) Transport
  Mapping for Syslog (RFC 5425) so that the DTLS transport may be used
  with the same assurance of security.
  draft-feng-syslog-transport-dtls-01 is already similar to RFC5425 in
  this respect, so this draft will become the starting point for the WG
  document, which the WG will adjust as needed, and merge desired features
  from other sources, such as
  draft-petch-gerhards-syslog-transport-dtls-02.

Goals and Milestones:

Mar 2010 Submit Syslog DTLS Transport Mapping to the IESG for 
consideration as a PROPOSED STANDARD
