-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Greetings, I would like to formally request end-user submission of rulesets to the Security Document Initiative's Firewall Rule Subset ---- see the following resource for more information http://www.buddhalinux.com. Abstract: The Security Document Initiative is an implementation of the domain of applied cryptography as it relates to XML Markup Language and the creation of a security infrastructure to protect information systems and resources. This project is charged with developing a XML Document Type Definition document model that Netfilter rulesets can be validated against. Any document instance of the "Firewall Rule Subset" must be well-formed and comply with the structured XML Markup Language. This language is being designed to provide all VALID rule entries that are available under the netfilter framework. This is where you the end-user come into play. Obviously, it would take me an untold number of days/weeks/months/years to construct a comprehensive and stable compilation of valid rules. The compilation of the rules and rulesets are a key step in this development process. Without, all representative rules and rulesets; a correct and valid netfilter rule will be deemed invalid under an improperly constructed document model. Thus, negating the purpose and intent of the SDI Firewall Rule Subset project. All submissions are held in complete confidentiality. You may choose to alter your rules and/or rulesets accordingly to obfuscate and mask the original address schemes. However, a confidentiality agreement will be made available to interested parties. Due care and diligence will be made to ensure end-user privacy. All submissions will be stored in encrypted form only on a non-networked medium. Digitally signed and/or encrypted submissions are recommended. I would like to thank the Netfilter community in advance for their contributions to this project. Cheers, Thomas Jones -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDDLkGoR5cE1e/kEIRAsc7AJ0ctaPsMyetjFpoR5efvRrdn3B2ogCffSmu WCf1meG+lA4VS2NZHZSo7JE= =u4s2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
