Title : Measures to prevent security attacks in TCP/IP
Author(s) : M. Dattathrani
Filename : draft-dattathrani-tcp-ip-security-01.txt
Pages : 10

The security problems in the internet are due to inherent problems in
the TCP/IP stack. The purpose of this draft is to brief on some of
the measures to prevent security attacks in TCP/IP network, by
changing some of the ways in which the TCP/IP protocol stack works.
The security attacks which are addressed in this draft are:
1) ARP(Address Resolution Protocol) spoofing and MAC address cloning
2) TCP Initial sequence number prediction
This version offers backward compatibility with cards that do not
support the security features mentioned in this draft. In view of
this, changes have been made to section 2.3 and a new section
(Section 2.4) has been added.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-dattathrani-tcp-ip-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.
