IETF | Security & privacy
The IETF works on a broad range of networking technologies that provide the foundation for the Internet's growth and evolution.
While most IETF work takes place online, meetings and other events such as Hackathons provide in-person opportunities to advance work within the IETF.
The IETF is the premier Internet standards organization. It follows open and well-documented processes for setting these standards. Once published, those standards are made freely available.
The global IETF community works together in many different ways to produce high quality, relevant technical documents that influence the way people design, use, and manage the Internet.
By supporting the IETF today, you are ensuring a free and open Internet exists tomorrow.
Trust by users in security and privacy on the Internet is a critical part of its success. A range of components, including robust implementations, careful deployment, and appropriate use of security technologies, is required to create a trusted Internet.
Technical standards and Best Current Practice documents developed in the IETF provide important foundational elements for security and privacy on the Internet. IETF standards strive to be resilient against a host of known and emerging threats. Internet security has long been an integral part of the process of developing Internet standards: for more than 20 years, all RFCs have been required to include a section that discusses the security considerations of the protocol or procedures that are the main topic of the RFC.
The IETF Security Area, with more than 20 active Working Groups, provides a focal point for security-related technical work in the IETF. Their work includes:
The IETF Security Directorate, consisting of the Working Group Chairs of the Security Area and selected individuals chosen for their technical knowledge in security, work with other groups within the IETF to help ensure IETF protocols provide an appropriate level of security for their intended usage.
A few recent and current efforts underway in the IETF are described below:
