6to4 security questions
Hello,
The most important part (how to go forward) got cut-off at the meeting, so
I'm hoping to be able to hear some thoughts on the 6to4 security issues.
* The most important thing:
==> document the existing problems and declare done or try to invent
bigger fixes for the problems?
* Draft has two parts
- relay spoofing troubles
- 6to4 usage analysis, guidelines for sec considerations
implementation etc.
==> keep these separate or not? (the second are IMO ready)
* Is the relay problem (spoofing from 2001::/16) something we need to
worry about?
- after all, you probably can spoof the source addresses without 6to4
too..
==> if yes, how much effort should we put into it?
* Should we analyze the DoS attacks (abusing relays) whether anything can
be done against those in more detail?
- already in the draft, maybe more
