I think references to specifications behind paywalls and other types of limited
access is a major problem. Not only for the standardization process, but also
for researchers and implementors. In general, I think people should be able to
implement and analyze IETF standards without having to pay for access.
Open-access is even more important for security specifications. ANSI X.62 is
hopefully quite well-studied, but for other references, the lack of analysis
often leads to mistakes and unknown weaknesses.
I would like the IETF to take a much stronger stance against normative
references to paywalls.
Cheers,
John
