Hi,
We had recently submitted a draft on security threats and risks for OPES intermediaries (and callout servers, if any). This topic is listed as one of the targets of the OPES WG. The draft (draft-srinivas-opes-threats-00.txt), basically, is an attempt to define the security threats against the OPES protocol. In addition to the threats, the effects of such security threats on the underlying architecture as well as the requirements of a security solution to mitigate such threats are discussed.

We would like to solicit comments on the issues raised in the draft and further explore the same.

Best regards,
B. Srinivas
