secdir review of draft-ietf-csi-send-cert-03

2010-05-18 Thread Richard Barnes
I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's  
ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the  
IESG.  These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the  
security area directors.  Document editors and WG chairs should treat  
these comments just like any other last call comments.


This document defines a certificate profile for use in the Secure  
Neighbor Discovery protocol for IPv6.  Starting from the RPKI cert  
profile, it adds some refinements for SEND, e.g., EKUs that authorize  
the subject to act in certain roles within SEND (router, proxy, host).


Overall, the document is reasonably well-written, but could benefit  
from more precision in its use of terminology.  There are a few points  
(noted below) where certificate processing rules are unclear.  With  
regard to the security considerations in particular, I would prefer if  
they stated the risks slightly more directly (text is suggested  
below), but in general, the authors address the major security concerns.


Detailed comments follow.

--Richard


Sec 2 Para 1
Suggest changing "authority over an" to "authorization to advertise an".

Sec 2 Para 2
Suggest rewording to avoid referring to SIDR WG (which is temporary).   
Suggested text: "The Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) is the  
global PKI that attests to allocation of IP address space."  Also,  
instead of "SIDR certificate profile", use "RPKI certificate profile".


Sec 2 Para 3, General
I'm confused by the several instances of the phrase "address owner" in  
the document (the phrase is not used in RFC 3971).  Do you mean "host"?


Sec 3 Para "End Entity"
This definition is incorrect.  Refer to RFC 4949.

Sec 4 Para 1
The RPKI profile should be applied in *addition* to the RFC 3971  
profile, right?  Please clarify.


Sec 4 Para 2
Why can there only be one RFC 3779 extensions?  It doesn't seem like  
there's a risk in including IPv4 space (e.g., for a dual-stack router  
that was vouching for IPv4 space in some other application?), or  
multiple extensions for IPv6 space.


Sec 5
This section should note that another deployment model (arguably the  
most likely) is a combination of these two, in which most resources  
are certified under the global RPKI, while some (e.g., ULAs) are  
certified under local TAs.


Sec 6 Para 4
The requirement for RFC 3779 extension seems to contradict the use of  
ETAs as Trust Anchor Material, i.e., the last sentence of the first  
paragraph in this section.


Sec 7 Para "The inclusion of ..." et seq.
It would be helpful for the document to specify how prefix matching  
should be done when validating these extensions.  Which of the  
following should the RP use?

-- Exact matching
-- Subset matching (RA within cert)
-- The weird subset/intersection algorithm that RFC 3971 defines
What prefix should the RP be matching against from SEND, per EKU?   
E.g., for id-kp-sendRouter, the RFC 3779 extension in the cert should  
match against any RAs the router emits.  It may be useful to refer to  
the ROA validation document [draft-ietf-sidr-roa-validation].


Sec 7 Para "Certificate-using applications..."
Suggest changing "Certificate-using applications" to "Relying Parties".

Sec 8
This section correctly identifies the main risk with these extensions  
(namely, issuance of certs with incorrect roles assigned), but it  
would be helpful to clarify the application-level impact of these bad  
issuances.  Suggested text:

"
Since a SEND certificate attest that its subject is authorized to play  
a given role in the SEND protocol, certificates that contain incorrect  
EKU values can enable some of the same attacks that SEND was meant to  
prevent.  For example, if a malicious host can obtain a certificate  
that authorizes it to act as a router for a given prefix, then it can  
masquerade as a router for that prefix, e.g., in order to attract  
traffic from local nodes.

IETF Meeting Room Space Availability Policy

2010-05-18 Thread Ray Pelletier

All,

The IAOC has adopted a Meeting Room Policy regarding the use
of available IETF meeting room space, the approval process, and  
charges for the
rooms and services based upon the category of the group requesting the  
room.


An IETF Meeting requires nearly 4,000 square meters in meeting space for
working group sessions, the NOC, terminal room, offices, storage and
other specific uses.  Occasionally not all of the space is needed for  
every part of
the meeting, or the IETF controls additional space.  When there is  
available space,
and space is available in non-meeting hours, the IAOC desires to make  
it available
in a manner that considers the work of the IETF, fairness, and its  
expenses.


The policy can be found on the IAOC site at:
http://iaoc.ietf.org/docs/Meeting-Rooms-Policy-05-13-10.txt

It will also be posted with each meeting, such as at:
http://www.ietf.org/meeting/78/index.html

Requests should be made as soon as they are known.

Thanks
Ray

You mean one night's charge? In my case it was for the whole week.

I'm happy with a restrictive charter so long as the work areas

people who bring up items now get included.  I'd probably be happier
with a reasonably open charter.

I'm not at all happy if the items I bring up or other similar items

A closely-related reason the drivers don't like them is concern
that credit card charges leave a paper trail that can, in
principle, make it harder to distort income for taxation
purposes.

None of this makes the comments of Ted and others less true.
The equation is, as usual, a little more complicated than credit
card charges or perceived "float" alone.  There is no "the
reason", only a whole complex of reasons, some of which may be
more important to some drivers in some areas than others.

Re: WG Review: Stringprep after IDNA2008 WG (newprep)

2010-05-18 Thread Sam Hartman


Hi.
I think there are two items that should be considered with the scope of
this working grou.

The first is RFC 4282.  RFC 4282 section 2.4 discusses
internationalization strategies based on stringprep and IDNA2003.  It
does not define its own profile.  Apparently, in addition to all the
reasons you would probably want to update anything based on IDNA 2003,
RFC 4282 does not meet the needs of the implementor community.  One
proposal for addressing RFC 4282 is draft-dekok-radext-nai-01.txt I
think any proposal in this space will require both help from newprep and
from the radext/aaa community.  Based on my past experience in emu, the
aaa community, like the rest of the IETF, can use i18n help.

Secondly, I'd like to see Kerberos considered as newprep thinks about
saslprep.  Kerberos's formal internationalization is confused and spotty
as a specification level.  At the last time that there was active work
on this within krb-wg, the plan was to use saslprep; a prior stringprep
profile was explicitly dropped in favor of saslprep.  For this reason, I
think that considering and working with the Kerberos community would be
really useful.

I'm not sure if either of these needs an explicit charter change; I
suspect the first probably does and the second may not.  However I think
these both are well within the spirit of the proposed charter.

All;

The IAOC proposes the following IETF meeting dates for the years 2014  
through 2017 and requests your feedback before adopting a final  
calendar.


Meeting dates are adopted to avoid conflicts with other organizations  
when known and possible. The IETF's policy with regard to clashes can  
be found here:  http://www.ietf.org/meeting/clash-list.html  For the  
most part, only the IEEE 802 has calendar dates this far in advance  
and they are also reflected below.  Later this year the IAOC will  
select the regional target for each of these meeting dates.  The goal  
at this point is to set the dates.

Re: Advance travel info for IETF-78 Maastricht

2010-05-18 Thread Phillip Hallam-Baker
Its all about money, but not necessarily the fees.

The cabs in most parts of the US are run through a licensed monopoly
scheme which is frequently corrupt. In NYC the guy who drives the cab
gets a pittance while the medallions sell for huge sums. Raising taxi
fares does not improve the pay of the drivers, the surplus all goes to
the controllers of the monopoly.

Mandating credit card acceptance should in theory merely reduce the
amount the rent that the medallion owners can extract from the drivers
and thus not affect the proportion of the fares the drivers receive.
The reason the drivers do not like them is that they make their
earnings more transparent to the medallion owners and thus enable them
to maximize their rent extraction.


It may not appear to be IETF related, but there are many, many
circumstances where deployment of a security protocol will be blocked
because similar effects are at work under the covers.

RE: [netlmm] Last Call: draft-ietf-netlmm-mip-interactions (Interactions betweenPMIPv6 and MIPv6: scenarios and related issues) to Informational RFC

2010-05-18 Thread Narayanan, Vidya
Charlie,
Thank you for your review and comments. Please note that the WG has spent a lot 
of time on this topic of same vs. separate BCEs. We have had two consensus 
calls on it after discussion at a meeting.  As you have seen from the thread, 
the chairs did see rough consensus to move on (specifically, please see 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/netlmm/current/msg05551.html).  Explicit 
text on this topic was also provided to our AD along with the shepherding 
write-up: 

"There have been some disagreements on the approach used to solve the 
collocated LMA and HA case in the document.  The present approach uses 
logically separate binding cache entries for the LMA and HA, which is based on 
consensus.  Some members of the WG strongly preferred the approach of having 
the same binding cache entry for the LMA and HA - however, the approach needed 
additional solutions to address race conditions that arose from it and it did 
not gain consensus in the WG. It should be noted that this was not raised by 
anyone in the WG during WGLC of the document and the document as a whole had 
strong consensus to be published."

As you see, the disagreement has been noted and we've moved on. We don't plan 
on re-opening this discussion at this time. Let's resolve any remaining issues 
with the document. 

Thanks,
Vidya

Thanks for that link.  It was most enlightening,

Having reviewed the latter, it seems to me quite likely
that the consensus call was (at least) premature.

I could go on.  And, without naming names, I want to emphasize
that the abovementioned objections were made by some real experts.

Do you have any links to discussion that _supports_
the consensus call?

Furthermore, I still suggest (constructively) that
_at the minimum_ a system architect ought to be allowed
to have the design freedom to identify the two mobile
node identities (and thus the relevant BCEs).
What is the downside of enabling new systems to
offer such obvious improvements?

Or, would it be better to start writing the ...bis
document already (just kidding...)?

Thanks Charlie for the comments and sorry for the delay in addressing them. 
Most of your comments are editorial and I can produce a new revision since I

You have one comment on the recommendation in the draft to have separate 
binding cache entries. This was extensively discussed in the NETLMM WG and also

open protocols x proprietary protocols

2010-05-18 Thread victor nunes
Hello, I have a question about how to open protocols x proprietary
protocols, and I think that the IETF can help me.

the open protocols can I study them and learn how they work.
However, proprietary protocols, it is possible to study them? way they
operate, their packages and other features?.

For example, if I wanted to write a book about an article or book on some
proprietary protocols, I'd have to ask permission for the patent holders of
their protocols?

Thanks, Victor

Re: Last Call: Policy Statement on the Day Pass Experiment

2010-05-18 Thread Robert Elz

One final message from me on this topic, then I'm done ...

Date:Mon, 17 May 2010 08:10:01 +0200
From:Eliot Lear 
Message-ID:  <4bf0ddb9.60...@cisco.com>

  | but I do accept that they have the authority to make such a statement,
  | if rough consensus could have been shown.

I didn't ever say that the authority wasn't there, in fact, if I recall
correctly, in my original message I think I explicitly agreed that the
IESG has the ability to issue such statements when circumstances warrant.

What I said was that they shouldn't here.  There are two reasons.

One is the conflict of interest, the nomcom is a topic, where (just possibly
extreme emergency excepted - which is really hard to imagine here) the
IESG should always ensure the full IETF procedure is carried out.
I said enough about this before so I won't say more here.   [Aside: nomcom
procedure as I recall it has always been that if there's an area of
ambiguity or doubt, the nomcom chair makes a ruling, if there was an urgent
problem here that needed fixing, that would be the way to do it ...]

Second, is that there is no need for any kind of statement here, from anyone.
If the IESG simply did nothing, everything would continue working just the
way it has in the past, nothing would break, or fail to work, in any
way at all, nothing that needs a quick fix anyway, and there is no ambiguity
that needs clearing up.

I know there are people who believe that the requirements for nomcom
membership should change, or should be interpreted differently than
they have been, or now that it is practically possible in some cases to
interpret things differently than it has been in the past, we should do
do - and all of that is fine, I don't agree with all of that, but they're
all legitimate viewpoints - but they all represent changes to the process,
and should be achieved via the working group route, and not via the
back door method of an IESG statement changing the rules.

I have seen the argument that RFC3777 always meant "attended for the whole
IETF meeting" and not just "attended" as it says.  I'll explain more below
why I think this is an incorrect interpretation, but for now let's just
accept that is what 3777 means, and that (because of that) the IESG's
statement is just a clarification, because attendance on a day pass cannot
mean "attended for all 5 days" (I'll explain below why that's incorrect too,
but let's ignore that problem for now).

I would note that in the revised IESG statement, even the IESG agree that
what they are doing is changing the rules - the only justification for allowing
day pass attendees from the past 2 meetings to volunteer, and not those
for future meetings, is that the rules previously allowed them, but they are
not to allow them any more.   If 3777 really meant "attended the whole meeting"
then the original IESG statement would have been the way to go - people
who attended one of the last two meetings on a day pass, clearly did not
attend the whole meeting, and if 3777 does require attendance at the whole
meeting, they should not be eligible.   By making the change made in the
revised statement, the IESG is making it clear that they are changing the
eligibility rules for the nomcom - that's something only a WG should do.

But if "attended the whole meeting" is what 3777 really means, then the
IESG statement doesn't go far enough (not the current version, nor the
original), we know from Rus Housley's message ...

hous...@vigilsec.com said (Sat, 15 May 2010 11:15:03 -0400):
  | Attendance was determined by the presence of a check-in date.  That is, the
  | person's registration packet was picked up at the registration desk. 

that the secretariat have the ability to determine who was actually present,
and what's more, when they were first there (the check-in date mentioned.)
Even if they didn't have that now, we could easily ask them to collect 
that information for the future, as (just as been done in the modified
IESG statement), if we are actually making a change, no matter what change
is made, or how - via WG or IESG statement, we don't want to apply
retroactively, only to the future.

With this information, we can (or could) disqualify from counting towards
nomcom eligibility anyone who hasn't collected their badge by (say) 11:00
(11am) on the Monday morning - if the intent is that the volunteer must have
attended all 5 days, then certainly anyone who wasn't there Monday morning
(maybe pick some other time instead of 11:00 -  that's the kind of issue a
working group could hash out, of course) was not there for the full 5 days,
and we would know that just as certainly as we do for someone who attended
via a day pass.

Now we have excluded everyone who arrived too late to have garnered enough
IETF experience to be a nomcom volunteer, we just need some way to detect
all of those who leave too early - this one the secretariat would currently
be unable to handle I suspect, but we could ask them to collect

That's correct.  The working group has been diligent in restricting its
work to
the chartered scope, namely satisfying only requirements for full
Internet Standard.

I believe your comment is, instead, applicable for Draft.  RFC 5321

I don't know whether you are pondering what I'm pondering.  Do you 
mean that it is up to the IESG to define what the requirements are?

Quoting Section 4.1.2 of RFC 2026:

  "A Draft Standard is normally considered to be a final specification,
   and changes are likely to be made only to solve specific problems
   encountered."

According to Section 4.1.3 of RFC 2026, an Internet Standard, or what 
is sometimes referred to as Full Standard, is a "specification for 
which significant implementation and successful operational 
experience has been obtained".


The YAM WG Charter states that:

 "The working group does not intend to revise the actual protocols
  in any way and will avoid document changes that might even
  accidentally introduce protocol changes, destabilize a protocol,
  or introduce semantic or syntactic changes."

 "If an existing protocol implementation is conforming to the Draft
   Standard version of the protocol specification, it must also be
   conforming to the resulting Full Standard version."

   the "success in the WG requires that there be a good-faith
   commitment by both its participants and the IESG to avoid seeking
   changes that (a) do not contribute in a substantial and substantive
   way to the quality and comprehensibility of the specification, or

There is an expectation that the IESG is aware of the requirements 
specified in RFC 2026 and what is written in the YAM WG Charter.

Thank you for your review, Allison!

Authors, please take these comments into account.

My understanding about the traffic selector format is that the 
previously approved document is the only one that we intend to have in 
the standards track at the moment, and that should be referenced from 
this document. (While allowing a registry to remain and the possibility 
of other formats retained, of course.)

Review for the Transport Directorate
draft-ietf-mext-flow-bindings-06.txt

2010-05-06
Allison Mankin

I've reviewed this document as part of the transport area
directorate's ongoing effort to review key IETF documents. These
comments were written primarily for the transport area directors, but
are copied to the document's authors for their information and to
allow them to address any issues raised. The authors should consider
this review together with any other last-call comments they have
received. Please always CC tsv-...@ietf.org if you reply to or 
forward this review.


This draft is on the right track but has open issues, described in 
the review.  


Overview -
It's interesting that flow routing keeps appearing in disparate
Internet protocols.  In this one, mobile nodes bind diverse CoAs
to flows based on traffic selector specs.  The draft is carefully
generic and gives no use cases, sample policies or traffic selectors.
It has a helpful example, but it is abstract.  I do find three
drafts that make use of flow bindings and give some picture of
how they might be used.

The WG has an approved standards track document specifying a binary
traffic selector.  The present draft doesn't reference it even
informationally - is that purposeful for neutrality?  The other two
are individual submissions. One specifies a traffic selector for 3GPP.
The final one sets out to massively extend flow binding options so that
they can originate from the home agent, not only from the mobile node.
This final draft presents 3G provider scenarios in which the HA
creates, deletes or modifies flow bindings or uses flow binding
actions, to accomplish goals such as enforcing a usage cap or ensuring
that an MN uses the provider's link even when a non-provider wifi may
also be available.  I bring up the two individual submissions with 3G
themes without any information about how they are viewed in the WG or
about how they'll fare in the IETF.  They do reveal ways that
draft-ietf-mext-flow-bindings can be read and thus they place it 
in an architectural context.


Comments -

Lifetime -
What should be done with the Lifetime field on BUs carrying flow
binding options?  Is it a meaningful field?  Section 4.3 doesn't
mention Lifetime as information that is maintained with flow bindings.
If you do intend that both systems are available, time-based deletion,
and non-refresh-based deletion, it needs stating (and it raises the
complexity).  Suggested action: write some guidance about this.


Design Limits -
4.2.1.4.  Traffic Selector sub-option
   TS Format

  An 8-bit unsigned integer indicating the Traffic Selector Format.
  Value "0" is reserved and SHOULD NOT be used.

This seems too small a space for traffic selector format identification.
It's been my experience that any two groups that want to classify traffic
specify at 3-4 (at least) similar but incompatible traffic selector
formats.  Instead of reserving the 0 value with a SHOULD NOT, why don't
you reserve it with a MUST NOT, and conceive that in a future standards
document it could be used as an extension bit to signal an expanded space?

Section 5.2
The requirement that there be only one flow summary option in a
binding update but that all FIDs be refreshed in that binding update,
means that the upper limit for flow bindings for a MN at any one time
is 128 (the length field in the option will only count this many 16
bit FIDs).  This seems limiting?  What if an application decides to
use flow bindings in an innovative way that can make use of lots more?
Suggested action: discuss why it was decided that there could be only
one flow summary option.  Does the WG believe that a maximum of 128
flow bindings is a good tradeoff?

Priority -
The draft illustrates specific uses of BID-PRI and FID-PRI.  The draft
is open enough that these priorities could also be used more
classically as traffic priorities.  I think this draft should pat
itself on the back for describing a simple robust use of the PRI
fields.  My sense is that the dynamics of mobility and the interaction
of the two sets of priorities lend themselves to complications,
including priority inversion.  Suggested action: write guidance that
simple use of the PRI fields is envisioned to be most robust.

Section 4.2
 FID-PRI MUST be unique to each of the flows pertaining to
 a given MN.
This sentence should be more precise.  I think it means that there
should be no duplication of FID-PRIs, but I'm not sure, and I'm not
sure why it says "pertaining to a given MN"

Section
