Bibliography & Credits
This document presents ideas taken from many sources. It main contribution is to bring them
together in a more complete form than the authors have heretofore seen.
The terminology and underlying architecture are based on those presented in Security
Architecture fore the AITS Reference Architecture, Revision 1.0, 22 December 1997, by the
DARPA Information Assurance Focus Group.
A good, general introduction to network security (including a discussion of IPsec and key
exchange) is Internet and Intranet Security, by Rolf Oppliger, published by Artech House Inc
in 1998. (ISBN 0-89006-829-1) The book IPSec, by Naganand Doraswamy and Dan Harkins,
published by Prentice Hall PTR in 1999 (ISBN 0-13-011898-2) discusses IPsec and IKE
specifically.
Physical security standards are outlined in Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules,
FIPS 140, published by the United States Department of Commerce. FIPS 140-1 was
published in 1994, and its successor, FIPS 140-2 will probably be published sometime in 2000.
