The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is in the process of adopting standards for IP-layer encryption and authentication (IPSEC). We describe how "probable plaintext" can be used to aid in cryptanalytic attacks, and analyze the protocol to show how much probable plaintext is available. We also show how traffic analysis is a powerful aid to the cryptanalyst. We conclude by outlining some likely changes to the underlying protocols that may strengthen them against these attacks.

Public key certification provides mechanisms that can be used to build truly scaleable security services, such as allowing people who have never met to have assurance of each other's identity. Authentication involves syntactic verification of a certificate chain followed by a semantic look at the policies under which the certificates were issued. This results in a level of assurance that the identity of the person to be authenticated is an accurate description of the person involved, and requires verifiers to specify who they trust and what they trust them to do. Two widely discussed mechanisms for specifying this trust, the PEM and PGP trust models, approach the problem from fundamentally different directions. The EC funded ICE-TEL project, which is deploying a security infrastructure and application set for the European research community, has described a new trust model that attempts to be equally applicable to organisation-centric PEM users and user-centric PGP users.

We analyze the security requirements of distance-vector routing protocols, identify their vulnerabilities, and propose countermeasures to these vulnerabilities. The innovation we propose involves the use of mechanisms from the path-finding class of distance-vector protocols as a solution to the security problems of distance-vector protocols. The result is a proposal that effectively and efficiently secures distance-vector protocols in constant space.
