> Hello, folks,
>
> I have just seen that there has been a thread about this document in
> this list, so here's a related "announcement":
>
> Last week the UK CPNI (United Kingdom's Centre for the Protection of
> National Infrastructure) released the document "Security Assessment of
> the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)". The document analyzes the
> relevant specifications from a security point of view, and also  
> analyzes
>  the implications of some implementation strategies taken by popular
> TCP implementations. This document is available at:
> http://www.cpni.gov.uk/Docs/tn-03-09-security-assessment-TCP.pdf
>
> As part of the same project, we have produced an IETF I-D version of  
> the
> UK CPNI document, in the hope that the IETF works on this stuff and
> hopefully publishes some version of the aforementioned document. The
> resulting IETF I-D is entitled "Security Assessment of the  
> Transmission
> Control Protocol (TCP)" (draft-gont-tcp-security-00.txt) and is
> available at: http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-gont-tcp-security-00.txt
>
> Any comments will be more than welcome.

> Thanks!
