Subject: [multipathtcp] Informal MPTCP discussion in Atlanta

Some of us met with Stephen Farrell in Atlanta, to discuss about moving MPTCP from Experimental to Standards track, from a security perspective.
This was very much an informal discussion. One thing is that, if we want, Stephen can try and identify a security advisor to work with us. My summary of the discussion  about things we could work on: (1) more secure method than the current spec (possibly implemented by default, even if not turned on by default); (2) perhaps how to swap in better algorithms (slightly more defined than in the current spec); (3) perhaps part of the work would be to re-check the threat analysis (as 'similar security to TCP' may not be a good long term goal).
Thanks
