Next week is the 91th IETF meeting and, at the security meeting, these
two new Internet-Drafts will be discussed:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-doria-hrpc-proposal
Work has been done on privacy issues that should be considered when
creating an Internet protocol [see the excellent RFC 6973, or
working groups like DPRIVE, for DNS privacy. S.B.]. This draft suggests that similar
considerations may apply for other human rights such as freedom of
expression or freedom of association. A proposal is made for
initiating IRTF [Internet Research Task Force] work researching the
possible connections between
human rights and Internet standards and protocols. The goal would be
to create an informational RFC concerning human rights protocol
considerations.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hall-censorship-tech
This document describes the technical mechanisms used by censorship
regimes around the world to block or degrade internet traffic. It
aims to make designers, implementers, and users of Internet protocols
aware of the properties being exploited and mechanisms used to censor
end-user access to information. This document makes no suggestions
on individual protocol considerations, and is purely informational,
intended to be a reference.
