A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IS-IS for IP Internets Working Group of the IETF.
Title : IS-IS Cryptographic Authentication
Author(s) : T. Li, R. Atkinson
Filename : draft-ietf-isis-hmac-05.txt
Pages : 6
Date : 2003-6-6
This document describes the authentication of IS-IS PDUs using the
HMAC-MD5 algorithm as found in RFC 2104. IS-IS is specified in ISO
10589, with extensions to support IPv4 described in RFC 1195. The
base specification includes an authentication mechanism that allows
for multiple authentication algorithms. The base specificqation only
specifies the algorithm for cleartext passwords.
This document proposes an extension to that specification that allows
the use of the HMAC-MD5 authentication algorithm to be used in
conjunction with the existing authentication mechanisms.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
