IETF draft - "Security Assessment of the Internet Protocol"
This document is the result of an assessment the IETF specifications of the Internet Protocol (IP), from a security point of view. Possible threats were identified and, where possible, countermeasures were proposed. Additionally, many implementation flaws that have led to security vulnerabilities have been referenced in the hope that future implementations will not incur the same problems. Furthermore, this document does not limit itself to performing a security assessment of the relevant IETF specifications, but also provides an assessment of common implementation strategies found in the real world."

Also, when a new version of the draft is released (or if it is eventually adopted officially as an Informational document by the opsec working group), the HTML version should automagically acquire links to the updated revisions.

Users of the web might prefer the html version of this I-D over the article's linked text/plain version. The HTML version has more convenient internal anchors and indexing, along with easily-accessible outbound links to relevant documents (such as the UK's Security Assessment of the Internet Protocol, upon which it is heavily based).
