Progress Updates on GeoPriv HELO Protocols and Identity Extensions
This document summarizes the ongoing discussions and progress related to various drafts within the GeoPriv Working Group, particularly focusing on the HELO Protocol. Although there has been no significant progress to report recently, several minor issues have arisen, some of which may be contingent on the resolution of civic address extension discussions. Key updates include adjustments to wifi measurements based on feedback, discussions about the necessity of a registry for required identifiers, and considerations for supporting additional transport protocols beyond TCP and UDP.

Draft Updates Relative Location draft-ietf-geopriv-relative-location HELD Dereference draft-ietf-geopriv-deref-protocol Location Measurements draft-ietf-geopriv-held-measurements HELD Identity draft-ietf-geopriv-held-identity-extensions
Relative Location • No progress to report • Lots of minor issues • Might be blocked on resolution to civic address extension discussions (Brian) • Binary format lacks usage context (Martin)
HELD Dereference • GET added after Maastrict discussions • Ready for WGLC
Location Measurements • Changed wifi measurements after lots of feedback from Gabor Bajko • Tweaked SSID format to accommodate binary nature of the field • Seeking final reviews
HELD Identity • DISCUSS: identifying required identity • We use qualified names to identify what a server wants (in “requiredIdentifiers”) • Do we want a registry for these? • Proposal: we shouldn’t create a registry if we don’t need a registry. • We can identify without a registry. • Does a registry aid interoperation enough to justify the cost?
HELD Identity • DISCUSS: TCP or UDP Port Number • There are transport protocols other than TCP and UCP, i.e., SCTP and DCCP. • […] Is there really a use case for identifying devices based on what is basically a socket ID? • If yes, then you need to […] support SCTP and DCCP […]
