Shepherd writeup
draft-ietf-uta-tls-attacks

1. Summary

Leif Johansson is the shepherd. 
Pete Resnick is the responsible AD

The shepeard believs the document is ready to go.

Abstract
-----------
Over the last few years there have been several serious attacks on
TLS, including attacks on its most commonly used ciphers and modes of
operation.  This document summarizes these attacks, with the goal of
motivating generic and protocol-specific recommendations on the usage
of TLS and DTLS.
-----------

The document is intended for publication as an Informational RFC

2. Review and Consensus

The document has received extensive review on the uta list by several
reviewers (not just the usual suspects). There have been a few near-miss
consensus, but they were all resolved to the satisfaction of all involved.

Most of the reviewers / active participants have ties to information
security or TLS specifically. Additional review in the secdir group
should probably try to find a person with another perspective. 

3. Intellectual Property

No issues

4. Other points

The ID nits page lists an obsoleted reference RFC 4347 (Obsoleted by 
RFC 6347) but that can probably be delt with as an RFC editors note.

There are no IANA considerations.
