Message Handling System (X.400) Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Countermeasures

摘要

This annotated briefing discusses the security issues of integrating into theMITRE network architecture an implementation of an X.400 based message handling system (MHS). Background concerning both the MITRE Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) integration project and X.400 is given. Threats, vulnerabilities, and countermeasures are then discussed. Finally, recommendations for integrating an MHS into the MITRE networks are presented.
