[LACNIC/Seguridad] Nuevo IETF-ID Sec. y Priv. Implications of Numeric Identifiers

[Fernando Gont]

Estimados,

Iván Arce y quien les escribe hemos publicado un nuevo IETF I-D
titulado: "Security and Privacy Implications of Numeric Identifiers
Employed in Network Protocols" que resume la mala historia que tienen
los protocolos de red a la hora de seleccionar identificadores numericos
(dales como el Frag ID, cubierto en el reciente RFC7739).

EL I-D se encuentra aqui:
<https://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gont-predictable-numeric-ids-00.txt>

El abstract dice:
   This document performs an analysis of the security and privacy
   implications of different types of "numeric identifiers" used in IETF
   protocols, and tries to categorize them based on their
   interoperability requirements and the assoiated failure severity when
   such requirements are not met. It describes a number of algorithms
   that have been employed in real implementations to meet such
   requirements and analyzes their security and privacy properties.
   Additionally, it provides advice on possible algorithms that could be
   employed to satisfy the interoperability requirements of each
   identifier type, while minimizing the security and privacy
   implications, thus providing guidance to protocol designers and
   protocol implementers. Finally, it provides recommendations for
   future protocol specifications regarding the specification of the
   aforementioned numeric identifiers.


P.S.: Si este I-D tuviera un soundtrack, tal vez sería este:

explicit lyrics :-) )

Saludos,

Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
