The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Security Threats to Network-Based Localized Mobility Management ' <draft-ietf-netlmm-threats-04.txt> as an Informational RFC This document is the product of the Network-based Localized Mobility Management Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Jari Arkko and Mark Townsley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-netlmm-threats-04.txt Technical Summary This document discusses security threats to network-based localized mobility management. Working Group Summary This is the product of the NETLMM WG. Protocol Quality This specification has been reviewed for the IESG by Jari Arkko. A number of reviews from WG members were obtained, including two detailed reviews from Laksminath Dondeti and Vijay Devarapalli. Note to RFC Editor Change the last paragraph in Section 1: OLD TEXT: Vulnerabilities in either interface of the localized mobility management architecture may entail new security threats which go beyond those that already exist in IPv6. This document identifies and discusses security threats on both interfaces of the localized mobility management architecture. It is limited to threats which are peculiar to localized mobility management; threats to IPv6 in general are documented in [4]. NEW TEXT: Vulnerabilities in either interface of the localized mobility management architecture may entail new security threats which go beyond those that already exist in IPv6. Potential attack objectives may be to consume network services at the cost of a legitimate mobile node, interpose in a mobile node's communications and possibly impersonate the mobile node from a position off link, operate under the disguise of a false or non-existing identity, or cause denial of service to a mobile node or to the localized mobility management domain as a whole. This document identifies and discusses security threats on both interfaces of the localized mobility management architecture. It is limited to threats which are peculiar to localized mobility management; threats to IPv6 in general are documented in [4]. Also, please add Charles Clancy to the acknowledgements section. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
