Towards Remote Procedure Call Encryption by Default
RFC 9289, “Towards Remote Procedure Call Encryption by Default”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2022 by T. Myklebust, C. Lever. It updates RFC 5531. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a mechanism that, through the use of opportunistic Transport Layer Security (TLS), enables encryption of Remote Procedure Call (RPC) transactions while they are in transit. The proposed mechanism interoperates with Open Network Computing (ONC) RPC implementations that do not support it. This document updates RFC 5531.
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.
