User privacy and security are constantly being improved by increasingly
strong and more widely deployed encryption. This workshop aims to
discuss ways to improve network management techniques in support of even
broader adoption of encryption on the Internet.
</p><p class="sh-color-black sh-color">
Network management techniques need to evolve to work effectively and
reliably in the presence of ubiquitous traffic encryption and support
techniques that enhance user privacy. In an all-encrypted network, it is
not viable to rely on unencrypted metadata for network monitoring and
security functions, troubleshooting devices, and passive traffic
measurements. New approaches are needed to track network behaviors,
<br>
e.g., by directly cooperating with endpoints and applications,
increasing use of in-band telemetry, increasing use of active
measurement approaches, and privacy-preserving inference techniques.
</p><p class="sh-color-black sh-color">
The aim of this workshop is to provide a platform to explore the
interaction between network management and traffic encryption and
initiate new work on collaborative approaches that promote security and
user privacy while supporting operational requirements. As such the
workshop aims to address the following questions:
</p><p class="sh-color-black sh-color">
• What are actionable network management requirements?
<br>
• Who is willing to work on collaborative solutions?
<br>
• What are the starting points for collaborative solutions?
</p><p class="sh-color-black sh-color">
The following topics are considered in-scope; however, this list is non-
exhaustive:
</p><p class="sh-color-black sh-color">
• Actionable requirements for network management, including:
<br>
- Troubleshooting needs
<br>
- Metrics for network performance measurements
<br>
- Requirements for security functions
<br>
• Proposals or reports on improvements to network management
<br>
- Ways to support evolving, encrypted traffic better
<br>
- Measurement techniques for encrypted traffic
<br>
- New privacy-preserving active measurement methods
<br>
- Direct communication with endpoints or applications
<br>
- Secure and privacy-preserving data collection, storage, and sharing
<br>
- Adoption of encryption for the management functions themselves

Interested participants are invited to submit position papers on the
workshop topics; it may take the form of an Internet-Draft. Paper size
is not limited, but brevity is encouraged. Interested participants who
have published relevant academic papers may submit these as a position
paper, optionally with a short abstract explaining their interest and
the paper’s relevance to the workshop. The workshop itself will be
focused on discussions based on the position paper topics received.
</p><p class="sh-color-black sh-color">
All inputs submitted and considered relevant will be published on the
workshop website. The organizers will issue invitations based on the
submissions received. Sessions will be organized according to content,
and not every accepted submission or invited attendee will have an
opportunity to present; the intent is to foster an active discussion and
not simply to have a sequence of presentations. A workshop report
covering all submissions and the workshop discussion will be published
afterwards.
</p><p class="sh-color-black sh-color">
The workshop will be by invitation only. Those wishing to attend should
submit a position paper to the address above topics and questions.
Position papers from those not planning to attend the workshop
themselves are also encouraged.
</p><p class="sh-color-black sh-color">
Please indicate your interest by submitting a research proposal by
<span class="sh-date">August 19, 2022</span> to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="mailto:mten-workshop-pc@iab.org" class="sh-color-blue sh-color">mten-workshop-pc@<wbr>iab.<wbr>org</a>

This workshop will be held remotely during the week of <span class="sh-date">Oct 17</span>-21, 2022,
likely supporting three 2-3h sessions spread over the week based on
submissions and the availability of the invited participants.
Additionally, an in-person wrap-up or dissemination session may be
organized in co-location with RIPE85 (Belgrade, Serbia) <span class="sh-date">on Monday Oct 24</span>
if there is sufficient interest by the participants. Please indicate
with your submission if you are interested in this option.
