Title : Problem Statement and Requirements for a TCP Authentication Option
Author(s) : S. Bellovin, et al.
Filename : draft-bellovin-tcpsec-01.txt
Pages : 22
Date : 2007-7-12
The TCP-MD5 option is commonly used to secure BGP sessions between
routers, although it is known to have many serious deficiencies.
This memo presents requirements for a TCP segment authentication
mechanism that is intended to replace TCP-MD5. While TCP-MD5 was
designed to protect TCP sessions whose payload is BGP, the
applicability of the mechanism described herein is broader. This
mechanism can be applied to any TCP connection, regardless of
payload.

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.
