Hey all, NIST is looking for comments on "Secure Interdomain Traffic Exchange – BGP Robustness and DDoS Mitigation: NIST Releases Draft NIST SP 800-189" They recently extended the deadline for comments to March 15, 2019, and so it looks like they would really like feedback.... ----- From: NIST Computer Security Division <csrc.nist@service.govdelivery.com> Subject: Secure Interdomain Traffic Exchange – BGP Robustness and DDoS Mitigation: NIST Releases Draft NIST SP 800-189 NIST has released Draft NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-189, Secure Interdomain Traffic Exchange: BGP Robustness and DDoS Mitigation, which provides technical guidance and recommendations for deploying technologies that improve the security of interdomain traffic exchange. The document focuses on securing the interdomain routing control (i.e., Border Gateway Protocol) traffic as well as mitigating Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. It is intended to guide information security officers and managers of federal enterprise networks. The guidance also applies to the network services of hosting providers (e.g., cloud-based applications and service hosting) and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) when they are used to support federal IT systems. The guidance will also be useful for enterprise and transit network operators and equipment vendors in general. A public comment period for this document is open until March 15, 2019.

This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair of pants. ---maf
