The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Security Considerations for Transient Numeric Identifiers Employed in Network Protocols' <draft-gont-numeric-ids-sec-considerations-09.txt> as Best Current Practice
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2023-01-09. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Poor selection of transient numerical identifiers in protocols such as the TCP/IP suite has historically led to a number of attacks on implementations, ranging from Denial of Service (DoS) to data injection and information leakage that can be exploited by pervasive monitoring. To prevent such flaws in future protocols and implementations, this document updates RFC 3552, requiring future RFCs to contain a vulnerability assessment of their transient numeric identifiers. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gont-numeric-ids-sec-considerations/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. AD note 1: This draft was split off from an earlier draft. The related other work is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-pearg-numeric-ids-generation/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-pearg-numeric-ids-history/ AD note 2: Could do authors please confirm their willingness to be authors on the document, as well as notify the list with any IPR claims or confirmation of no known IPR claims. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
