draft-gajcowski-cnsa-ssh-profile has been presented to the ISE for
publication as an Informational RFC on the Independent Stream.

==Purpose==

This document forms part of a series of Informational documents that
specify the conventions for using IETF security-related RFCs in the
context of US NSA systems. They are considered appropriate for use by
other divisions of the US Government, and may be useful for other
governments and establishments.

These specifications do not relax the use of any RFC 2119 language, but
they do sometimes tighten the language or remove options. They also aid
with configuration choices.

The series of documents are made publically available for use by
developers and operators wishing to participate in these systems.


This document specifies the conventions for using the NSA's Commercial
National Security Algorithm (CNSA) Suite algorithms with the Secure
Shell Transport Layer Protocol and the Secure Shell Authentication
Protocol.  It applies to the capabilities, configuration, and operation
of all components of US National Security Systems that employ IPsec.

== History==

This document has not been presented to or discussed by the IETF.

The document was first brought to the ISE in Auust 2020 at version -00.

Its slow progress since then is mainly due to the authors being busy
with other work

Over this period, the document has been revised several times to address
review comments.

==Non-IETF Work==

There is no risk of confusing this for IETF work. The document clearly
states what it is and will contain the usual boilerplate words.

==Security Considerations==

This whole document is about security. It has been reviewed by security-
aware reviewers with that in mind.

==IANA==

The document makes no request for IANA action.

==Reviews==

As well as reviewing the document themself, the ISE commissioned reviews
from Mark Baushke. Mark's review was extensive and caused several
revisions before all issues were addressed satisfactorily.

Details of the reviews can be retrieved on request.

==Remaining Nits and Edits==

The authors plan a -05 revision to make a minor reordering of contents
for clarity

(Via drafts-eval@iana.org): IESG/Authors/ISE:

The IANA Functions Operator has reviewed draft-gajcowski-cnsa-ssh-profile-04 and has the following comments:

We understand that this document doesn't require any registry actions.

While it's often helpful for a document's IANA Considerations section to remain in place upon publication even if there are no actions, if the authors strongly prefer to remove it, we do not object.

If this assessment is not accurate, please respond as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Amanda Baber
