Communications security/information assurance
I'd like to have one basic place where security functions, rather than enforcement mechanisms, are initially defined; there can, of course, be sub-articles. I started one called communications security, although I don't especially like the title. Information security or Information assurance might be alternatives, although I want to be sure the title encompasses:
- Features that would be in a computer, not just the communications channel
- Features that tend to be relevant just to the channel, such as frequency agility, protected distribution system, and combinations of spread spectrum with frequency agility (and even multiple antennas).
Suggestions? Once we agree on the title, I'd like the functions described in the lead to wikilink there, so IPSec can concentrate on a particular set of mechanisms. There may well be good reason to link to a separate set of articles on cryptographic algorithms.
Authentication header
In my experience, there are applications where this is used, when the only requirement is for source authentication and header integrity. Could you give some citations about it not being used?Howard C. Berkowitz 17:46, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
