I've reviewed this draft before at Sam's request, so I don't have a lot of =
comments, but here are a few items I see in the most recent version in WGLC=
.

3.2 key expiration -- Might be useful to have a pointer to 6.2 where handli=
ng expiration faults is discussed in more detail. Also, would it be appropr=
iate to discuss a config knob to more finely control expiration handling? I=
'm thinking of something that would allow a fail-open or fail-safe conditio=
n, where expiration generates a fairly insistent warning but instead of imm=
ediately tearing down that session, the implementation will maintain the se=
ssion as long as it stays up, but if it goes down for some other reason (lo=
st connectivity, etc.) it will not be permitted to re-establish until the e=
xpired key is addressed. I'm sure there are some security risks to this, bu=
t it might be a useful tradeoff for folks still getting the hang of managin=
g key expiration.

5. Grouping peers - need to be able to ungroup a peer or peers without impa=
cting routing - one of the problems with things like BGP Peer groups using =
a common MD5 password today is that if you need to change the password, you=
 affect the entire peer group at once. The ability to override a group conf=
ig with a peer-specific config as an extension of key rollover provides a l=
ot of flexibility, such that it may be useful to make that an explicit requ=
irement. This is discussed some in Section 7, but may need some companion t=
ext here.

6.1 - not sure I'd assume that proper procedures are in place to be followe=
d. The overlap between "Router people" and "security people" is often limit=
ed, so I'm of the mind that some amount of specifics in terms of rules of t=
humb are useful, or at least discussing what if anything might be different=
 in handling this provisioning step.
see also draft-ietf-sidr-rtr-keying's discussion of provisioning a router. =
Discussion on some of that in my review of that document. Thread here: http=
://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/sidr/current/msg05659.html


Thanks,

Wes George

Hi.
With regard to  your proposed key expiration  and peer ungrouping text,
I'd like to offer my support for the ideas but ask for additional
support from the WG.
Also, any opinions on what strength language we want there?
MAY/SHOULD/MUST/MUST (BUT We KNOW YOU WON't)?

I'm tending toward SHOULD personally.

With regard to 6.1. People are doing something with administrative
passwords.
It may be good or bad, but their security already depends on it.
Does opsec have some advice in this area we can reference?

The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'Analysis of BGP, LDP, PCEP and MSDP Issues According to KARP Design
   Guide'
  (draft-ietf-karp-routing-tcp-analysis-07.txt) as Informational RFC

This document is the product of the Keying and Authentication for Routing
Protocols Working Group.

The IESG contact persons are Stewart Bryant and Adrian Farrel.

A URL of this Internet Draft is:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-karp-routing-tcp-analysis/




Technical Summary

This document analyzes TCP based routing protocols, Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP) [RFC4271], Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)
[RFC5036], Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) [RFC5440], and
Multicast Source Distribution Protocol (MSDP) [RFC3618] according to
guidelines set forth in section 4.2 of Keying and Authentication for
Routing Protocols Design Guidelines [RFC6518].

Working Group Summary

The working group was happy with this document.  Joe Touch expressed
concerns about the descriptions of TCP-MD5 and TCP-AO.  All the specific
concerns he raised have been addressed, but his comments suggest that he
may have additional unspecified concerns.

Document Quality

This document has been reviewed by the Working Group and by the
chairs.  It does a good job laying out both the common issues across the
protocols it analyses, and the protocol specific issues.  The level of
detail is appropriate to the working group goals as laid out in the
charter and the guidelines document. 

Personnel

Joel Halpern is the document shepherd.  Stewart Bryant is the
responsible Area Director. 

RFC Editor Note

The rather terse and "non-standard" IANA section should be interpreted
as "This document makes no IANA requests, and the RFC Editor may
consider deleting this section on publication of this document as 
a RFC." 

Please move reference RFC6863 to the normative section.

The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'Analysis of BGP, LDP, PCEP and MSDP Issues According to KARP Design
   Guide'
  (draft-ietf-karp-routing-tcp-analysis-07.txt) as Informational RFC

This document is the product of the Keying and Authentication for Routing
Protocols Working Group.

The IESG contact persons are Stewart Bryant and Adrian Farrel.

A URL of this Internet Draft is:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-karp-routing-tcp-analysis/




Technical Summary

This document analyzes TCP based routing protocols, Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP) [RFC4271], Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)
[RFC5036], Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) [RFC5440], and
Multicast Source Distribution Protocol (MSDP) [RFC3618] according to
guidelines set forth in section 4.2 of Keying and Authentication for
Routing Protocols Design Guidelines [RFC6518].

Working Group Summary

The working group was happy with this document.  Joe Touch expressed
concerns about the descriptions of TCP-MD5 and TCP-AO.  All the specific
concerns he raised have been addressed, but his comments suggest that he
may have additional unspecified concerns.

Document Quality

This document has been reviewed by the Working Group and by the
chairs.  It does a good job laying out both the common issues across the
protocols it analyses, and the protocol specific issues.  The level of
detail is appropriate to the working group goals as laid out in the
charter and the guidelines document. 

Personnel

Joel Halpern is the document shepherd.  Stewart Bryant is the
responsible Area Director. 

RFC Editor Note

The rather terse and "non-standard" IANA section should be interpreted
as "This document makes no IANA requests, and the RFC Editor may
consider deleting this section on publication of this document as 
a RFC." 

Please move reference RFC6863 to the normative section.

Hi.  I didn't see any last call comments besides Wes's comments.  I'd
also like to get some support for Wes's comments before folding them in.
As I've said I personally support but would prefer to see if we can
shake up more than one person saying "yes" at this stage.

chairs, would it make sense for me to try and prepare a draft next week
that hopefully can be sent on?

As chair, I'd like to see more declarations of support before =
progressing the document. I'll extend the end of last call until 4/16 in =
order to give others the chance to comment. Sam, why don't you hold off =
with a new draft until then.

Folks, the KARP work will be of little value if the operators can't =
deploy it. This document provides needed advice to operators on best =
practices for handling credentials and keys. Advice on use of the KARP =
key table specification is a significant part of the document. We do =
need to show consensus that it is the right advice. Please read and =
comment, or at least provide an indication of approval or disapproval.

Thanks,
Brian

I support draft-ietf-karp-ops-model-05 as Informational.

I assume that the corrections that I suggested (off-line) to Sam and
Dacheng will be incorporated into a final version.

Wes's issue of key expiration makes sense to me, so I support it.

Wes' issue of grouping/ungrouping peers makes sense to me, so I support
it.  We have touched on one aspect of this issue (the scope of keys) in
draft-atwood-karp-akam-rp.

I have read the comment on Section 6.1 and the email that is cited.  I
agree that, for the kind of document that ops-model is intended to be
(i.e., targeted at a member of a routing working group who knows little
about security), no assumption should be made about "proper security
procedures being in place".  It is the fact that we know that they are
_not_ in place that is driving the entire KARP effort, after all.  I
therefore support inclusion of more text here.

  Bill

Here's a "yes."  I'm actually pretty good with section 6.1 -
in my experience the people managing and configuring routers
do have an appreciation for the sensitivity of router management
keys/passwords (this is not a particularly subtle issue or one
that requires specialist knowledge).  I'm not really in love with
section 3.1 (routers validating cryptographic parameters) but
I can live with it.

I think the document is in good shape and ready to move

The IESG has received a request from the Keying and Authentication for
Routing Protocols WG (karp) to consider the following document:
- 'Database of Long-Lived Symmetric Cryptographic Keys'
  <draft-ietf-karp-crypto-key-table-07.txt> as Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-04-29. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   This document specifies the information contained in a conceptual
   database of long-lived cryptographic keys used by many different
   security protocols.  The database is designed to support both manual
   and automated key management.  In addition to describing the schema
   for the database, this document describes the operations that can be
   performed on the database as well as the requirements for the
   security protocols that wish to use the database.  In many typical
   scenarios, the security protocols do not directly use the long-lived
   key, but rather a key derivation function is used to derive a short-
   lived key from a long-lived key.

Dear Authors,

I happened to read this  document again after a long time and it's changed =
quite a bit and in the current form it's certainly  relevant for Routing op=
erations folk.=20
You touched upon scope of keys to, configuration using key tables, various =
key types being used (KARP scope) and handling faults. All are very useful.

First I would share my opinion on the suggestions asked for:

3.2 key expiration -- (my comments for new suggested text)

Though it's fair from operations perspective, obviously not good for securi=
ty perspective. Probably situation with key roll over for RP's could improv=
e with Key management protocols usage (with in built soft key rollover time=
s etc..). In that spirit you can at best use a "MAY"

5. Grouping peers -=20
Yes, useful and it's reasonable.

6.1 -=20
Very important aspect and not aware of any opsec document which touches thi=
s aspect.


Other not so significant comments I have:
-----------------------------------------

1. Section 1 - Page 3

   "This document also gives recommendations for how management and
   operations.."
    s/operations/operational

2. Section 3.2
     - Currently text mainly focus on manual deployments.
     - Section 3.3 talks different aspect with KMPs not the rollover
     - Hence, this section may need to consider both manual keys and keys b=
eing populated by the KMP;=20
       where KMP  (peer2peer or group) ensures keys are properly replenishe=
d before the old keys expiry.

3. Section 4 (last 3 paragraphs)
    - It's better if  the scope of the keys talked about differentiates for=
 RPs and KMPs in separate sections.
      I am indicating this because, certificates and other form of authenti=
cation methods are not directly applicable to RPs, with in KARP scope.

4. Section 4.2 and 4.3
    - These are not directly applicable to RPs but critical for KMPs.
      If you can restructure section 4, it benefits immensely for the routi=
ng developers and operator community.

5. Section 6.2
   "Faults may interact with operational practice in at least two ways.
   First, security solutions may introduce faults.  For example if
   certificates expire in a PKI, previous adjacencies may no longer
   form.  Operational practice will require a way of repairing these
   errors.  This may end up being very similar to repairing other faults
   that can partition a network."

   Need to indicate this as KMP related issue rather than RP issue as far a=
s KARP is concerned.

Document: draft-ietf-karp-crypto-key-table-07
Reviewer: David L. Black
Review Date: April 25, 2013
IETF LC End Date: April 29, 2013

Summary: This draft is on the right track, but has open issues
described in the review.

This draft describes a conceptual key database for use by protocols.
It's definitely useful and valuable work, as key management is often
an afterthought in protocol design, even when security functionality
is actively worked on in the design process.

The draft text is in good shape and reads cleanly, but the draft is
short on precision in specifying a number of the fields for the database,
and the IANA registries; most of the open issues are requests for the
level of precision needed for interoperability and reuse of database
implementation across different protocol implementations.

Major issues:=20

(Section 2)

[1] LocalKeyName and PeerKeyName are strings.  What character set?
If Unicode (e.g., UTF-8?), add text on Unicode considerations (e.g.,
normalization).  Finding a Unicode expert will help in getting this
done quickly.  I have similar concerns for other strings, and in
particular, IANA should be told what a "string" is for any registry
field that contains one.

[2] I'm not sure that I understand what a KDF really is from its high
level description in this draft.  At the least, I'm surprised that the
importance of non-invertibility of a KDF is not mentioned - beyond that,
a functional description of inputs and outputs would help, including
a strong recommendation to inject unpredictable nonce material.  This
could be handled by referencing material on what a KDF is that exists
elsewhere.

(Section 4)

[3] It's important that this section cover all the fields involved in
the database lookups in Section 3 whose format may be protocol-specific
(the Direction and various time fields aren't).  Protocol should be
covered by the IANA registry, peers and key names are covered here,
but interface appears to be missing - item (9) covers presence vs.
absence of interface information, but not its format.

--- Lots of issues with the IANA Considerations (Section 8)

(Section 8.1.1)

[5] No field format information for the fields in a registry entry.
IANA should be told what formats to expect/use.

[6] "Protocol Specific Values" is not the same as "ProtocolSpecificInfo"
in section 2; the same name should be used, but whitespace differences
are ok.

[7] Should some sort of formats for Peers and Interfaces be included in
registering a Protocol?  If not, the lookups in section 3 may be
implementation-dependent (strings that work w/one implementation may
not work w/other implementations of the same protocol).  The specification
reference may suffice based on the requirements in section 4
for what has to be in each referenced specification.

(Sections 8.2 and 8.3)

[8] No registry entry content descriptions.  Need to supply information
on what to register and the formats of the elements of a registry entry.

[9] I suggest Expert Review for these registries, not just=20
First Come First Served, so that someone with a security "clue" can
check that the proposed registrations are reasonable.

Minor issues:

[A] Overall - I would like to see a paragraph added on how this database
conceptually relates to the IPsec Peer Authorization Database (PAD) -
see RFC 4301, section 4.4.3.

[B] (Section 2) Where is key size recorded?  Is that an implicit attribute
of Key?

[C] (Section 3) Where does key selection occur?  I would suggest that the
database return all possible keys and let the protocol figure out what to
use.  This is particularly important for inbound traffic for obvious reason=
s.

Nits/editorial comments:

I suggest dividing section 3 into
- 3.1 Outgoing Traffic
- 3.2 Incoming Traffic

idnits 2.12.16 found a truly trivial nit -
  =3D=3D Line 76 has weird spacing: '...strains  where...'

Here are some quick initial responses to your comments.

Thanks much for the review and I'll follow up with more detail in a
while.

They are strings that can be compared using binary comparison.
I agree we need to state that in the draft.
Character set, to the extent it is specified will be specified by the
individual protocol.
In practice the protocol will say  that it's an integer represented as
an ASCII string.

We needed to add the entire complexity of making these fields be strings
    not integers because of some non-IETF protocols that use key names.

I'm reasonably confident I can sell Pete on the concept of a binary
    identifier for this field from an i18n standpoint.

But issues, of length, format, etc are all specified by the protocol
spec.

I'm open to text either proposed on the IETF list from one of the other
authors.
Some protocols have a KDF input some do not.
If they do, it will be drawn from a set of allowable valuable for that
protocol.

The interface is implementation-specific not protocol specific.  We
mandate that you must be able to tie things to interface. However the
format of an interface is quite specific to the routing platform in
questino.  I don't think there's a way that an IETF document can go into
useful detail on that.  SNMP and Netconf have models of how interfaces
are represented.  If we ever put together a Netconf schema for this
database, we'd specify the interface there.

When you register a protocol you need to point to a specification that
    gives details on this sort of thing.

As an individual, I support FCFS, because I think getting expert

    registries will be challenging.

Thanks for the quick response - most of your message looks reasonable to me=
.

I have a few additional comments.

[1] Character set for key names, etc.

> They are strings that can be compared using binary comparison.
> I agree we need to state that in the draft.

That's certainly a reasonable goal, and there are plenty of examples of
protocols that do that.  OTOH, when the character set is Unicode, generatin=
g
strings for which that binary comparison for equality works as expected has
a number of subtleties when the strings are input by humans.  Pete Resnick
and yours truly are among the people familiar with the "dragons" that lurk
here (and the precis WG is grappling with).

I have no problem with the field being a binary identifier, but I think
implementers should be put on notice that binary comparison of human input
Unicode strings doesn't work as expected unless some things are done to
make it work (this used to be known as string preparation).  A warning
to that effect, perhaps citing a reference for details on what can go awry,
accompanied by making the protocol spec responsible for getting this right
ought to suffice.

[3] Protocol responsibility to specify interface format

Ok, I suggest explaining that as part of a statement that a protocol cannot
in general be expected to specify interface formats that apply across all
implementations due to implementation diversity.

[7] Additional format information in registry

That makes sense, and section 4's requirements on the specifications=20
cover this area, but I thought I'd ask.

[9] Registry policy

The two registries involved are for KDFs and cryptographic algorithm identi=
fiers.

This feels like something that the security area ought to weigh in on, as i=
t
looks like it includes the "vanity crypto" discussion tarpit ;-).  At a min=
imum,
I would think that there ought to be some means of prohibiting registration
of a crypto algorithm like ROT13 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROT13).

Thanks,

Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science


We are researchers from different parts of the world and conducted a study on  
the world’s biggest bogus computer science conference WORLDCOMP 
( http://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 ) organized by Prof. Hamid Arabnia 
from University of Georgia, USA.


We submitted a fake paper to WORLDCOMP 2011 and again (the same paper 
with a modified title) to WORLDCOMP 2012. This paper had numerous 
fundamental mistakes. Sample statements from that paper include: 

(1). Binary logic is fuzzy logic and vice versa
(2). Pascal developed fuzzy logic
(3). Object oriented languages do not exhibit any polymorphism or inheritance
(4). TCP and IP are synonyms and are part of OSI model 
(5). Distributed systems deal with only one computer
(6). Laptop is an example for a super computer
(7). Operating system is an example for computer hardware


Also, our paper did not express any conceptual meaning.  However, it 
was accepted both the times without any modifications (and without 
any reviews) and we were invited to submit the final paper and a 
payment of $500+ fee to present the paper. We decided to use the 
fee for better purposes than making Prof. Hamid Arabnia (Chairman 
of WORLDCOMP) rich. After that, we received few reminders from 
WORLDCOMP to pay the fee but we never responded. 


We MUST say that you should look at the above website if you have any thoughts 
to submit a paper to WORLDCOMP.  DBLP and other indexing agencies have stopped 
indexing WORLDCOMP’s proceedings since 2011 due to its fakeness. See 
http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/icai/index.html for of one of the 
conferences of WORLDCOMP and notice that there is no listing after 2010. See Section 2 of
http://sites.google.com/site/dumpconf for comments from well-known researchers 
about WORLDCOMP. 


The status of your WORLDCOMP papers can be changed from scientific
to other (i.e., junk or non-technical) at any time. Better not to have a paper than 
having it in WORLDCOMP and spoil the resume and peace of mind forever!


Our study revealed that WORLDCOMP is a money making business, 
using University of Georgia mask, for Prof. Hamid Arabnia. He is throwing 
out a small chunk of that money (around 20 dollars per paper published 
in WORLDCOMP’s proceedings) to his puppet (Mr. Ashu Solo or A.M.G. Solo) 
who publicizes WORLDCOMP and also defends it at various forums, using 
fake/anonymous names. The puppet uses fake names and defames other conferences
to divert traffic to WORLDCOMP. He also makes anonymous phone calls and tries to 
threaten the critiques of WORLDCOMP (See Item 7 of Section 5 of above website). 
That is, the puppet does all his best to get a maximum number of papers published 
at WORLDCOMP to get more money into his (and Prof. Hamid Arabnia’s) pockets. 


Monte Carlo Resort (the venue of WORLDCOMP for more than 10 years, until 2012) has 
refused to provide the venue for WORLDCOMP’13 because of the fears of their image 
being tarnished due to WORLDCOMP’s fraudulent activities. That is why WORLDCOMP’13 
is taking place at a different resort. WORLDCOMP will not be held after 2013. 


The draft paper submission deadline is over but still there are no committee 
members, no reviewers, and there is no conference Chairman. The only contact 
details available on WORLDCOMP’s website is just an email address! 

Let us make a direct request to Prof. Hamid arabnia: publish all reviews for 
all the papers (after blocking identifiable details) since 2000 conference. Reveal 
the names and affiliations of all the reviewers (for each year) and how many 
papers each reviewer had reviewed on average. We also request him to look at 
the Open Challenge (Section 6) at https://sites.google.com/site/moneycomp1 


Sorry for posting to multiple lists. Spreading the word is the only way to stop 
this bogus conference. Please forward this message to other mailing lists and people. 


We are shocked with Prof. Hamid Arabnia and his puppet’s activities

keyword worldcomp fake for additional links.
