RFC 9662, “Updates to the Cipher Suites in Secure Syslog”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2024 by C. Lonvick, S. Turner, J. Salowey. It updates RFC 5425, RFC 6012. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
RFCs 5425 and 6012 describe using TLS and DTLS to securely transport syslog messages. This document updates the cipher suites required by RFC 5245 (TLS Transport Mapping for Syslog) and RFC 6012 (DTLS Transport Mapping for Syslog). It also updates the protocol recommended by RFC 6012 for secure datagram transport.
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.
