Syslog has been a de-facto standard for logging system events for long time. The syslog WG recently completed standardization of the syslog protocol (RFC 5424), secure transport of the syslog protocol over TLS (RFC 5425), and non-secure transport over UDP (RFC 5426). The WG under this charter will standardize a DTLS transport for syslog, providing a secure transport for syslog messages in cases where a connection-less transport is desired. The threats that this WG will primarily address are modification, disclosure, and masquerade. A secondary threat is message stream modification. These are consistent with those addressed in RFC 5425. Draft-feng-syslog-transport-dtls is already similar to RFC 5425 in this respect, so this draft will become the starting point for the WG document, which the WG will adjust as needed, and merge desired features from other sources, such as draft-petch-gerhards-syslog-transport-dtls, draft-hardaker-isms-dtls-tm, and draft-seggelmann-tls-dtls-heartbeat. The WG will also complete the ongoing work to specify a standardized mechanism for signing syslog messages (draft-ietf-syslog-sign).
