Hello:
Is there a document out there that explains what is type enforcement.  One of
the commercial firewall vendors I talked to explained to me that theirs is the
only product that implements type enforcement and this gives their product a
level of security no other product in the market does.  I am quite familiar
with the different firewall products and what kind of implementation they have
but I am not quite familiar with what was described to me as "true type
enforcement."  What does it mean in the context of firewalls and where if any
can I get more information about this concept?
I would appreciate any help.
Regards
Vivek
