Default Security Contexts for Bundle Protocol Security
RFC 9173, “Default Security Contexts for Bundle Protocol Security”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2022 by E. Birrane, III, A. White, S. Heiner. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines default integrity and confidentiality security contexts that can be used with Bundle Protocol Security (BPSec) implementations. These security contexts are intended to be used both for testing the interoperability of BPSec implementations and for providing basic security operations when no other security contexts are defined or otherwise required for a network.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
