Title : Security Framework for Provider Provisioned Virtual
Private Networks
Author(s) : L. Fang et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-l3vpn-security-framework-00.txt
Pages : 35

This draft addresses security aspects pertaining to Provider
Provisioned Virtual Private Networks (PPVPNs). We first describe
the security threats that are relevant in the context of PPVPNs,
and the defensive techniques that can be used to combat those
threats. We consider security issues deriving both from malicious
behavior of anyone and from negligent or incorrect behavior of the
providers. We also describe how these security attacks should be
detected and reported. We then discuss the possible user
requirements in terms of security in a PPVPN service. These user
requirements translate into corresponding requirements for the
providers. In addition, the provider may have additional
requirements to make its network infrastructure secure to a level
that can meet the PPVPN customer's expectations. Finally, we define
a template that may be used to analyze the security characteristics
of a specific PPVPN technology and describe them in a manner
consistent with this framework.

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.
