Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus (TACACS+) over TLS 1.3
This document specifies the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.3 to secure the communication channel between a Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus (TACACS+) client and server. TACACS+ is a protocol used for Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) in networked environments. The original TACACS+ protocol does not mandate the use of encryption or secure transport. This specification defines a profile for using TLS 1.3 with TACACS+, including guidance on authentication, connection establishment, and operational considerations. The goal is to enhance the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of TACACS+ traffic, aligning the protocol with modern security best practices. This document updates RFC 8907.
