[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.
Thanks to Greg's kind work, we now have the issue list at
