(This is an informational copy. The writeup has been entered into the
system. I have used the informal writeup template. Deborah, if you
want the formal one used, I can redo it.)
Joel Halpern is serving as document shepherd for this document. Deborah
Brungard is the responsible Routing Area director, with Brian Haberman
continuing to provide assistance from his role when the LISP working
group was in the Internet Area.
This document review the kinds of security threats that arise when LISP
is being used. It discusses the kinds of attacks and mechanisms, so as
to note clearly where LISP modifies the normal assumptions. It then
discusses particular attacks that can be mounted. The document
concludes with some general recommendations on deployment and
configuration techniques that can ameliorate some of the attacks.
The document has going through multiple reviews and restructurings. The
current document is very clear and readable. The documented is intended
to provide information to the community, and does not modify the
protocol nor mandate specific techniques. As such, the working group is
requesting that this be published as an Informational RFC.
In addition, there were multiple reviews by different people to ensure
that the full range of threats were covered and accurately described.
Finding the right wording was challenging, but was accomplished.
The shepherd has performed a final review, and agrees that this document
is useful and ready for publication as an Informational RFC.
The authors have confirmed that all relevant IPR has been disclosed.
Yours,
Joel M. Halpern
