Softwire Security Analysis and Requirements
RFC 5619, “Softwire Security Analysis and Requirements”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2009 by S. Yamamoto, C. Williams, H. Yokota, F. Parent. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes security guidelines for the softwire "Hubs and Spokes" and "Mesh" solutions. Together with discussion of the softwire deployment scenarios, the vulnerability to security attacks is analyzed to provide security protection mechanisms such as authentication, integrity, and confidentiality to the softwire control and data packets. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
