Hi Ed,
Whether this document as available on the ITU TIES system is identical tothe text which has been distributed to the list is unclear, as I do not have TIESaccess, but it does have the same name. The author of this text on the ITU system is also veiled, saying only that the submission is from "Editor".
I provided this document to everyone when this hoax emerged. I've attached it again. 4068 is a draft document provided by Ms. Tian as a proposed outline for a draft Recommendation on this subject. It was subsequently approved with a broader scope and multiple editors. As I indicated, the bogus text has been subsequently discovered to be part of someone's private email that was apparently forwarded to Bellovin. There are several source verification recommendations that are progressing in the ITU-T (which is not the U.N., by the way). The most interesting one is a set of new specifications for authenticated IP being advanced by Larry Roberts. Another one is for international CallerID for voice telephony. In addition to consumer demand for the service, the U.S. VAWA mandated the capability two years ago. Hope this helps, and the insanity can subside. --tony (in Geneva) ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
