A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
Title : Issues in Identifier Comparison for Security Purposes
Author(s) : Dave Thaler
Filename : draft-iab-identifier-comparison-00.txt
Pages : 19
Date : 2011-07-02
Identifiers such as hostnames, URIs/IRIs, and email addresses are
often used in security contexts to identify security principals and
resources. In such contexts, an identifier supplied via some
protocol is often compared against some policy to make security
decisions such as whether the principal may access the resource, what
level of authentication or encryption is required, etc. If the
parties involved in a security decision use different algorithms to
compare identifiers, then failure scenarios ranging from denial of
service to elevation of privilege can result.
