Opsdir early review by Qin Wu: 6.) e2e encrypt? #26

Closed mwelzl closed 5 months ago

mwelzl commented 6 months ago

From Qin Wu's review:

Section 7 said:
“
Keeping these considerations in mind, we limited the scope of the
transportation of the sustainability metrics to a single
administrative domain.  But, based on [RFC8799], limiting a protocols
functionality doesn't mean that it will be secure.  So, this
particular document, which defines "a modified ICMP message with
sustainability metrics", can be classified as a FAIL-OPEN protocol
[I-D.wkumari-intarea-safe-limited-domains].
”
Interesting statement, I am thinking whether ICMP should consider end to end
encryption to address this issue?

Beyond the scope of this document. I'd close this.

I agree.
