Title : Multihoming using 64-bit Crypto-based IDs
Author(s) : E. Nordmark
Filename : draft-nordmark-multi6-cb64-00.txt
Pages : 33
Date : 2003-11-19
This document outlines a potential solution to IPv6 multihoming in
order to stimulate discussion. This proposal is a middle ground
between the NOID and CB128 proposals.
This proposed solution relies on verification the crypto-based
identifier properties (using public-key crypto during uncommon
operations), while allowing locator rewriting by (border) routers,
with no per-packet overhead. The solution does have something which
could be viewed as a 'stack name' type of identifier, but this isn't
exposed to upper layer protocols. Instead it ensures that all upper
layer protocols can operate unmodified in a multihomed setting while
still seeing a stable IPv6 address, even though the address
internally consists of 64-bits worth of subnet locator plus 64-bits
of crypto-based identifier.
This solution (and this draft) is remarkably similar to draft-
nordmark-multi6-noid-00.txt; only issues related to prevention of
redirection attacks differ.

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.
