[Cz-computers] Articles approaching approval readiness?

[Howard Berkowitz]

Absolutely agree; it should have been in that list.  There's just so much to do; I have noticed a few new people have joined the Workgroup, and perhaps some of these topics will be of interest. Mind you, I'm more of a lower layers (and high-availability application) specialist; I sometime find myself screaming "yes, I did set up procmail a few times, but I am _not_ the person who should be doing messaging!). 

In the last few days, I've also been getting a good bit of material about security vulnerabilities being created by interim IPv6 deployment. When, for example, IPv6 is tunneled through IPv4 in IPv4 Protocol 41, firewalls and such don't look at any of the content. I've also done a fair bit of work with ISP and very large enterprise infrastructure security, with techniques such as blackhole/sinkhole iBGP route injection, the sinkholes, egress filtering, and threat recognition.

There is a draft article, "communications security", that may help us, but I'm not happy with the structure or the title. The intent of the article was to describe threats, and the abstract countermeasures, pointing to other articles on the actual implementation of countermeasures.
