Suggested IETF 114 Sessions for Getting Familiar with New Topics

More information about IETF 114 is available on the main meeting page. A complete agenda is available on the IETF Datatracker. Registration is still open, including one-day, remote, and student options.

SATURDAY, 23 July 2022

10:30-11:00
IETF Hackathon Kickoff
(separate free registration required)
Liberty A

The IETF Hackathon is an event where participants develop and test that their code can interoperate with others, or where new code is written, often to implement new IETF work. The kickoff meeting describes all the projects that will go on this week; they are also already listed on the Hackathon wiki. Feel free to join an existing team to add some more bugs! You do not need to bring code; you can simply join a topic of interest and contribute to existing code, help with testing or in many other ways.

SUNDAY, 24 July 2022

10:00-12:00

Internet Engineering and Planning Group (IEPG)
Philadelphia North
The IEPG, created by RFC 1690,  is an informal gathering that meets on the Sunday prior to IETF meetings. The intended theme of these meetings is essentially one of operational relevance in some form or fashion - although the chairs will readily admit that they will run with an agenda of whatever is on offer at the time! Ideally it covers operational and deployment reports, descriptions of real world problems, etc. This time we have presentations on “A quick look at QUIC” and “IPv6 Extension Header (Performance and Diagnostic Metrics (PDM) Destination Option) Testing Across the Internet”.

12:30-13:30

Stub Network Auto Configuration for IPv6 (SNAC) BOF
Freedom E/F
With the intention of forming an IETF working group, this Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) session will discuss issues related to stub networks, which are the networks that connect to infrastructure but do not provide transit routing, including:

• How do we connect stub networks to infrastructure automatically?
• How do we give devices on stub networks parity with devices on infrastructure network?
• Do we provide global routing? If so, how, and with what constraints?

13:30-14:30 Monday Session II

JSON Web Proofs (jwp) BOF
Independence A/B
The JOSE RFCs and JSON Web Tokens (JWT), have been widely adopted for identity use cases, including for the widely-deployed OpenID Connect protocol and STIR. Concurrent to the growth of adoption of these standards has been an increasing societal focus on privacy. Common privacy themes in identity solutions that intersect with JWT are user consent and minimal disclosure.

Transport Area Open Meeting
Liberty B
An update on what’s going on in the Transport Area. During this meeting the Area Directors will lead a discussion about how the IETF should change the way it handles standardization of congestion controls, possibly including a new working group dedicated to the topic.

MSR6 focuses on source routing multicast based on native IPv6 (IPv6 and IPv6 extension headers), including Best Effort and Traffic Engineering solutions, to decouple multicast forwarding from per-flow state at intermediate nodes.

Secure Asset Transfer Protocol (satp) BOF
Independence A/B
The goal of Secure Asset Transfer (SATP) is to develop a standard protocol which operates between two gateways for the purpose of transferring digital assets between networks or systems. Each gateway represents one network or system, and the SAT protocol performs a unidirectional transfer of a digital asset from the origin network to a destination network. This session will discuss forming a working group to undertake this work.

WEDNESDAY, 27 July 2022

10:00-12:00 Wednesday Session I

Media Over QUIC (moq) BOF

13:30-14:30 Wednesday Session II

General Area Dispatch
Liberty C
The GENDISPATCH working group is chartered to consider proposals for new work in the GEN area, including proposals for changes or improvements to the IETF process and process documents. GENDISPATCH is chartered to identify, or to help create, an appropriate venue for new work. GENDISPATCH will not consider any technical standardization work.

15:00-17:00 Wednesday Session III

Transfer dIGital cREdentialS Securely Working Group (tigress)
Philadelphia South 
There are many situations in which it is desirable to transfer a copy of a digital credential to another person. For example, a private car owner may want to provide access to their vehicle to a friend or a family member. A private homeowner may want to provide access to their home to their cat sitter. An individual staying at a hotel may want to transfer a copy of a hotel room key to their spouse. Today, no such standardized method exists in a cross-platform, credential type-agnostic capacity. This session, the first meeting of the working group, will discuss standardizing a protocol that will facilitate such credential transfers from one person's device to another person's device.

Multiplexed Application Substrate over QUIC Encryption (masque)
Philadelphia North
Having completed its UDP tunneling work, the working group will focus its attention on tunneling full IP packets over HTTP/3, which has several interesting requirements. While there is some background to this work, IETF 114 is a good entry point to the IP work. The second hour will present some new Internet-Drafts and discuss rechartering opportunities.

17:30-19:30

IETF Plenary
Liberty Ballroom C/D
The plenary is the one meeting addressed to the entire IETF community. There are leadership reports about the state of the IETF, as well as “open mic” sessions for community feedback on a broad range of topics.

Supply Chain Integrity, Transparency, and Trust (scitt) BOF
Liberty B
Concerns about the security of supply chains, including those for physical goods, services, and digital products, have been around for a long time. This work aims to improve supply chain security by making the actions of entities in that supply chain transparent and thereby accountable. This session follows up a virtual interim BOF session with the intention to form a working group to continue the work.
