Many, many thanks to all who worked on these documents and gave us
comments.  I'm glad to see this document finally out; I hope it will
make some impact on the security of the Internet.

As a side note, I'll be presenting this work during on Tuesday, July

This FYI RFC is a first attempt at providing Internet users guidance
on how to deal with security issues in the Internet.  This handbook is
meant to be a starting place for further research and should be viewed
as a useful resource, but not the final authority.

This handbook is the product of the Site Security Policy Handbook
Working Group (SSPHWG), a combined effort of the Security Area and
User Services Area of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
This FYI RFC provides information for the Internet community.  It
does not specify an Internet standard.  Distribution of this memo is
unlimited.

RFCs can be obtained via FTP from FTP.NISC.SRI.COM, NIS.NSF.NET, or
NISC.JVNC.NET.

FYI RFCs can be obtained from via FTP from FTP.NISC.SRI.COM, with
the pathname rfc/fyimm.txt, or rfc/rfcnnnn.TXT (where "mm" refers to
the number of the FYI and "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC).

Login with FTP username "anonymous" and password "guest".  SRI also
provides an automatic mail service for those sites which cannot use
FTP.  Address the request to MAIL-SERVER@NISC.SRI.COM and in the
subject field of the message indicate the FYI or RFC to be sent: "send
fyimm", or "send rfcnnnn".  Multiple requests may be included in the
same message.
