FWIW, CPNI (http://www-cpni.gov.uk) published a very thorough technical report on TCP security: http://www.cpni.gov.uk/Docs/tn-03-09-security-assessment-TCP.pdf An the IETF is currently workin on a RFC version of it: http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-security-01.txt . This one is the original IETF individual submission, which contains those sections that have not yet been commited to the IETF-adopted one: http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-gont-tcp-security-00.txt Thanks, Fernando Gont
