by Fergie (Paul Ferguson) 14 Jul '05

Just curious: Did any readers of the list participate in this summit? http://www.internetnews.com/security/article.php/3519761 As an aside, while doing a Google search for "E-mail Authentication Implementation Summit", I found a page which revals that The Direct Marketing Association (DMA) was a co-sponsor of this "summit". Draw your own conclusions. - ferg -- "Fergie", a.k.a.

by matthew zeier 14 Jul '05

14 Jul '05

After a couple somewhat severe outages (hardware failures) in the past two months, management wants an external someone to come in and do a complete design audit. Who does these sorts of things? -- matthew zeier - "Curiosity is a willing, a proud, an eager confession of ignorance." - Leonard Rubenstein

Thanks, Dave. - ferg -- Dave Crocker <dhc2(a)dcrocker.net> wrote: Fergie (Paul Ferguson) wrote: > > Just curious: Did any readers of the list participate in > this summit? Yes. It was primarily organized by Microsoft, to discuss deployment of spf and sender-id. The DKIM announcement on Monday resulted in its having increased attention and Eric Allman gave an excellent presentation about it.

We're seeing a routing loop at "sl-yahoo4-2-0.sprintlink.net" (144.223.36.174) for traffic destined for 64.115.0.0/22 sourced from several different locales. Was curious if anyone else was seeing this? --D. Campbell MacInnes

UN report indicates ICANN retains position in Internet governance
by Fergie (Paul Ferguson) 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

Update from Kieren over at The Register: [snip] A sneak preview of the UNs report into internet governance has revealed that ICANN will retain its position as the lead technical body for the Internet. However, the organisations dreams of becoming a quasi-governmental body overseeing the future of the internet have been dealt a heavy blow. Chairman of the UNs Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG), Nitin Desai, spoke at ICANNs bi-annual conference in Luxembourg this morning and said that 70 to 80 per cent of Internet governance did not concern ICANN at all.

Openbsd fixes icmp protocol bugs apparently ignored by the IETF
by Suresh Ramasubramanian 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

And the guy who did this says that someone at cisco called him a terrorist, and that the IETF ignored him .. but Theo deRaadt believes him, and puts his changes into the openbsd codebase. All for your basic ICMP source quench / hard ICMP error exploits, from a quick read through http://kerneltrap.org/node/5382 Oh well, makes interesting reading if nothing else. -- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.lists(a)gmail.com)

Yahoo and Cisco to submit e-mail ID spec to IETF
by Fergie (Paul Ferguson) 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

More info: [snip] Yahoo and Cisco Monday plan to announce they will submit their e-mail authentication specification, DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM), to the IETF to be considered as an industry standard. Discussions on DKIM will begin at the IETF meeting in Paris scheduled to run between July 31 and August 5, Yahoo and Cisco officials said. DKIM combines Yahoo's DomainKeys and Cisco's Internet Identified Mail, two e-mail authentication technologies developed separately, which the companies announced in June they would combine with the intention of licensing the resulting specification royalty-free throughout the industry. [snip] http://www.networkworld.com/news/2005/071105-yahoo-cisco.html - ferg p.s. Of course, this development comes on the heels of two other methods for e-mail authentication already published by the IETF as "experimental" RFC's: "Sender Policy Framework (SPF) for Authorizing Use of Domains in E-Mail" and Microsoft's "Sender ID: Authenticating E-Mail". http://news.com.com/Antispam+proposals+advance/2100-1032_3-5768498.html -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
