==Overview==
==Overview==
This focus area was created on September 6, 1983. The Security Area is home to security protocol working groups, which provide one or more security services, such as integrity, authentication, non-repudiation, confidentiality, access control, and key management. The Security Area intersects with all other [[IETF#IETF Working Groups|Areas]] as it is concerned with the practical application of ensuring secure protocols and technologies.<ref>[https://www.ietf.org/topics/security/ Security, IETF]</ref>

==Leadership==
[[Roman Danyliw]] and [[Benjamin Kaduk]] are the security area directors.
===Security Area Directorate===
The security directorate (SecDir) provides support to the IETF Security Area Directors. There are 50 reviewers in the group, and there are about 20 documents to review each month. The members are Working Group Chairs and others chosen for their technical knowledge in security. The SecDir reviews all IETF documents passing through the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) to improve efficiency. Each member receives one assignment roughly every two months in round-robin order. The reviews are solicited to allow the area directors to focus on troublesome documents. The group also improves the documents and broadens the reviewers' exposure to other parts of the IETF. The reviews do not cause the IESG to block a document; however, they may convince IESG members to block a document.<ref>[https://trac.ietf.org/trac/sec/wiki/SecDirReview SecDir Reviews, IETF Sec Wiki]</ref>
