Not-So-Low Hanging Fruit: Security and Privacy Research Opportunities for IETF Protocols

Abstract

The IETF is actively developing technical specifications for state-of-the-art cryptographic protocols that aim to improve user privacy in the areas of privacy-preserving measurement, anti-fraud systems, and related applications. The success of these protocols requires review and analysis from experts familiar with the underlying cryptographic concepts or problem areas. This paper presents research opportunities for work in this area that would help advance standardization and deployment of these technologies.
