SATP last-call review and ANIMA adoption calls

IETF process activity on 2026-10-18 centered on a security directorate review blocking a Secure Asset Transfer Protocol core draft and a modest ANIMA working-group call to adopt two expired drafts on service discovery and autoconfiguration. Both threads stayed technical and lightly subscribed.

SATP core draft judged not ready in Secdir last-call review

The security directorate reviewed draft-ietf-satp-core-17 during IETF last call and concluded the document is not ready. Reviewers flagged gaps in atomicity guarantees and in the binding of attestations. The finding matters for implementers of cross-network asset transfer protocols that rely on the draft for secure, consistent state transitions.

ANIMA seeks adoption of GRASP-DNSSD and DNS autoconfig drafts

The ANIMA working group opened a call for adoption of two expired drafts covering GRASP-based DNS service discovery and NOC services DNS autoconfiguration. Discussion remained limited to a handful of participants across a dozen messages. Adoption would revive work on autonomic networking discovery and configuration mechanisms that had gone stale.
