Title : A Non-Routable IPv6 Prefix for Keyed Hash Identifiers (KHI)
Author(s) : P. Nikander, et al.
Filename : draft-laganier-ipv6-khi-00.txt
Pages : 9
Date : 2005-9-2
This document introduces Keyed Hash Identifiers (KHI) as a new,
experimental class of IPv6-address-lookalike identifiers. They are
constructed to be statistically globally unique. They are intended
to be used as identifiers only, and not as locators. They should not
appear in actual IPv6 headers. Consequently, they are considered as
non-routable addresses from the IPv6 point of view.
These identifiers are expected to be used at the existing IPv6 API
and application protocols between consenting hosts. They may be
defined and used in different contexts, suitable for different
protocols. Examples of these include Host Identity Tags (HIT) in the
Host Identity Protocol (HIP) and Temporary Mobile Identifiers (TMI)
for Mobile IPv6 Privacy Extension.
This document requests IANA to allocate a temporary prefix out of the
IPv6 addressing space for Keyed Hash Identifiers.

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.
