[DNA] Issue 8: Modify Security Considerations



Dear DNA WG 
 
This is an attempt to resolve this issue:

Issue 8 
Jari Arkko proposed to modify Security Consideration 
 
   "You may want to add something like what Bernard wrote in his DNAv4 
   document about not trusting the DNA procedures to turn on/off your personal 
    firewall based on "recognizing" your home network."

Suggested resolution: We propose  to modify Security Considerations as belows. 
 
   Because DNA schemes are based on Neighbor Discovery, its trust models
   and threats are similar to the ones presented in [9].  Nodes
   connected over wireless interfaces may be particularly susceptible to
   jamming, monitoring and packet insertion attacks.

   As a result, when Neighbor Discovery is not secured, it is
   inadvisable for a host to adjust its security based on which network
   it believes it is attached to.  For example, it would be
   inappropriate for a host to disable its personal firewall based on
   the belief that it had connected to a home network.

   Use of [7] to secure Neighbor Discovery is important in achieving
   reliable detecting network attachment.  DNA schemes SHOULD
   incorporate the solutions developed in IETF SEND WG if available,
   where assessment indicates such procedures are required.

* We  add something like what Bernard  wrote in DNAv4 I-D between 
   "... packet insertion attacks' and 'Use of...'
 
Please register your opinion if you have any comments, otherwise 
we'll update the goals draft accordingly and move it forward.
