[LACNIC/Seguridad] Nuevo IETF I-D: On the generation of TCP timestamps

[Fernando Gont]

Hola a todos,

Por si a alguno le interesa, he publicado un nuevo IETF I-D, titulafo 
"On the generation of TCP timestamps".

El "Abstract" es el siguiente:

---- cut here ----
    This document describes an algorithm for selecting the timestamps (TS
    value) used for TCP connections that use the TCP timestamp option,
    such that the resulting timestamps are monotonically-increasing
    across connections that involve the same four-tuple {local IP
    address, local TCP port, remote IP address, remote TCP port}.  The
    properties of the algorithm are such the possibility of an attacker
    guessing the exact value is reduced.  Additionally, it describes an
    algorithm for processing incoming SYN segments to allow a higher
    connection establishment rates to any TCP end-point.

El draft se encuentra disponible en el sitio 
http://www.gont.com.ar/drafts/tcp-timestamps/index.html , asi como 
tambien en el repositorio de Internet-drafts de la IETF.

Saludos cordiales,
