A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Use of TCP timestamp option to defend against blind spoofing attack
Author(s) : K. Poon, N. Demizu
Filename : draft-poon-tcp-tstamp-mod-01.txt
Pages : 23

The US-CERT alert (TA04-111A) shows that the well-known weakness in
TCP's segment acceptance test is easier to exploit than previously
thought. While there are already mechanisms, such as RFC 2385 for
BGP and IPSEC, to defend against this kind of attack, we propose a
light weight method making use of TCP timestamp (RFC 1323) option as
an alternative.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-poon-tcp-tstamp-mod-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.
