       Title     : Defending Against Sequence Number Attacks               
       Author(s) : S. Bellovin

IP spoofing attacks based on sequence number spoofing have become a serious
threat on the Internet (CERT Advisory CA-95:01).  While ubiquitous 
crypgraphic authentication is the right answer, we propose a simple 
modification to TCP implementations that should be a very substantial block
to the current wave of attacks.

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-rfced-info-bellovin-00.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
							
For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
