A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Reliable Multicast Transport Working Group of the IETF. Title : Security Requirements For TRACK Author(s) : T. Hardjono, B. Whetten Filename : draft-ietf-rmt-pi-track-security-01.txt Pages : Date : 06-Apr-01 This document discusses the security issues within the TRee-based ACKnowledgement (TRACK) reliable multicast protocol instantiation, and identifies some constraints and requirements for security provisions for this protocol. Based on the constraints and requirements, the document proposes a separation of data packet confidentiality and authentication, from transport layer protection. It proposes that TRACK be primarily concerned with group authentication of control and data packets, to protect against attacks on the transport infrastructure. It proposes that data confidentiality and source authentication be provided separately from this low level group authentication, ideally at the application level. We show that this is particularly important for TRACK, because of the requirement that the interior control nodes only OPTIONALLY have access to the data packet payload.

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-rmt-pi-track-security-01.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
