The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is mad as h*ll and doesn't want to take it anymore. The IETF met this week in Canada. What they are working on is a PRISM-proofing plan.

IETF chair Jari Arkko says:"“Discussions over the past few months, including many in the more than 100 working group sessions this week, are carefully and systematically reviewing Internet security and exploring ways to improve privacy and other aspects of security for different applications."

An IETF security area director,Stephen Farrell, says:" “there are challenges isolating the specific areas of attack that IETF protocols can mitigate.” He added that: “all of the working groups that considered the topic have started planning to address the threat using IETF tools that can mitigate aspects of the problem."

It's not known what might come out of these meeting, but the NSA and spooks everywhere should be forewarned.
