IETF RFC 6528
Defending against Sequence Number Attacks
Organization: | IETF |
Publication Date: | 1 February 2012 |
Status: | active |
Page Count: | 12 |
scope:
This document specifies an algorithm for the generation of TCP Initial Sequence Numbers (ISNs), such that the chances of an off-path attacker guessing the sequence numbers in use by a target connection are reduced. This document revises (and formally obsoletes) RFC 1948, and takes the ISN generation algorithm originally proposed in that document to Standards Track, formally updating RFC 793.
