Security Attacks Found Against the Stream Control Transmission Protocol and Current Countermeasures
RFC 5062, “Security Attacks Found Against the Stream Control Transmission Protocol and Current Countermeasures”, is an Informational document published in September 2007 by R. Stewart, M. Tuexen, G. Camarillo. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes certain security threats to SCTP. It also describes ways to mitigate these threats, in particular by using techniques from the SCTP Specification Errata and Issues memo (RFC 4460). These techniques are included in RFC 4960, which obsoletes RFC 2960. It is hoped that this information will provide some useful background information for many of the newest requirements spelled out in the SCTP Specification Errata and Issues and included in RFC 4960. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
