The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Defending TCP Against Spoofing Attacks ' <draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-antispoof-06.txt> as an Informational RFC This document is the product of the TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Lars Eggert and Magnus Westerlund. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-antispoof-06.txt Technical Summary This document is a description of the sorts of off-path spoofing attacks that TCP is vulnerable to and the various existing proposed mitigations of those attacks. It is a fairly detailed discussion of the attacks and forms a good basis for addressing the problems in TCP as well as starting the discussion for other protocols. More practically, it can be used by designers and implementors to decide which of these strategies are appropriate for their situation. Working Group Summary The draft came in to being primarily because the author was concerned that a new draft addressing these vulnerabilities did not adequately address prior work or present alternatives to that draft's solutions. Eventually, those concerns were separated into this draft, which the group believes has pedagogical and practical value. Document Quality The document has been endorsed by the working group as being complete and well written pretty universally.
