A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Reliable Multicast Transport Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Security and Reliable Multicast Transport Protocols: Discussions and Guidelines
Author(s) : B. Adamson, V. Roca
Filename : draft-ietf-rmt-sec-discussion-01.txt
Pages : 25
Date : 2008-02-25
This document describes some security risks of the Reliable Multicast
Transport (RMT) Working Group set of building blocks and protocols.
An emphasis is placed on risks that might be resolved in the scope of
transport protocol design. However, relevant security issues related
to IP Multicast control-plane and other concerns not strictly within
the scope of reliable transport protocol design are also discussed.
The document also begins an exploration of approaches that could be
embraced to mitigate these risks. The purpose of this document is to
provide a consolidated security discussion and provide a basis for
further discussion and potential resolution of any significant
security issues that may exist in the current set of RMT standards.

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.
