Abstract:
This document performs an analysis of the security and privacy
implications of different types of "numeric identifiers" used in IETF
protocols, and tries to categorize them based on their
interoperability requirements and the assoiated failure severity when
such requirements are not met. It describes a number of algorithms
that have been employed in real implementations to meet such
requirements and analyzes their security and privacy properties.
Additionally, it provides advice on possible algorithms that could be
employed to satisfy the interoperability requirements of each
identifier type, while minimizing the security and privacy
implications, thus providing guidance to protocol designers and
protocol implementers. Finally, it provides recommendations for
future protocol specifications regarding the specification of the
aforementioned numeric identifiers.
