A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Remote Direct Data Placement Working Group of the IETF.
Title : DDP/RDMAP Security
Author(s) : J. Pinkerton
Filename : draft-ietf-rddp-security-00.txt
Pages : 43
Date : 2003-10-22
This document analyzes security issues around implementation and use
of the Direct Data Placement Protocol(DDP) and Remote Direct Memory
Access Protocol (RDMAP). It first defines an architectural model for
an RDMA Network Interface Card (RNIC), which can implement DDP or
RDMAP and DDP. The model includes a definition of resources that can
be attacked. This document then introduces various Trust Models
between a local peer and a remote peer and the tools that can be
used to create countermeasures against attacks. Finally, the
document reviews various attacks and the countermeasures to be used
against them, grouping the attacks into spoofing, tampering,
information disclosure, denial of service, and elevation of
privilege.

In the body type:

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.
