Security Area
The IETF Security Area provides a focal point for security-related technical work in the Internet Engineering Task Force.
Overview[edit | edit source]
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 Areas as it is concerned with the practical application of ensuring secure protocols and technologies.[1]
