Summary

The panrg meeting at IETF 116 was a short session focused on updates on the SCION architecture and a presentation about a side meeting on trust-based networking. Key discussion points included the progress of SCION drafts, potential integration with IPv6 extension headers, and plans for a more in-depth SCION discussion at IETF 118 in Prague. The group also discussed whether to meet at IETF 117 in San Francisco.

Key Discussion Points

SCION Updates:
- SCION is being deployed in the finance industry in Switzerland and expanding to other industries like healthcare and education.
- The SCION association has been created to improve and grow the SCION community and maintain the open-source implementation.
- Three main SCION drafts are in progress: component analysis, overview, and control plane. The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) draft has been published.
- Terminology in the drafts is being updated to align with the positive networking graph vocabulary, including renaming "end hosts" to "endpoints."
- Potential integration of IPv6 extension headers for the data plane is being considered, but further research and prototyping are needed.
SCION Draft Roadmap:
- The goal is to complete the three main SCION drafts (component analysis, overview, and control plane) in the coming months.
- A detailed discussion on SCION is planned for IETF 118 in Prague, with the aim of having the data plane document ready by then.
- Operational experiences with SCION deployments in Switzerland will also be presented at IETF 118.
Trust-Based Networking Side Meeting:
- A side meeting on trust-based networking is being organized to explore topics such as robust geolocation, trust modeling, and the role of trust in avoiding problems related to entity positions in the network.
- The work has potential connections to SCION and its PKI.
IETF 117 San Francisco Meeting:
- The chairs proposed not to have a formal meeting at IETF 117 in San Francisco due to lack of agenda items. However this can be revisited.

Decisions and Action Items

Decision: A detailed SCION discussion will be held at IETF 118 in Prague.
Action Item: Yu to provide a summary of the trust-based networking side meeting to the panrg mailing list.
Action Item: Chairs to solicit further feedback on San Francisco meeting via mailing list.

Next Steps

Continue working on the SCION drafts and prepare for presentation and discussion at IETF 118 in Prague.
Follow up on potential IPv6 extension header integration.
Review the summary of the trust-based networking side meeting and explore potential collaboration opportunities.
