Title : Pre-Shared Key (PSK) Based Addresses (PBA)
Author(s) : N. Venkitaraman, V. Narayanan

Cryptographically generated addresses (CGAs) provide a means of
generating an IP address that is tied to a public key of a node.
Using this means, the address ownership of the node can be verified
by using the public key of the node to decrypt data signed by the
node using its private key. In AAA-based systems, there is currently
no means of performing such absolute address ownership checks, since
address authorization is traditionally outside the scope of AAA.
However, in some key generation protocols, it may be critical to
perform address ownership verification or authorization before the
generated key can be used. When such key generation protocols are
AAA-based, there is no known method of address authorization to allow
this operation.
This draft provides a means of IPv6 address generation using a shared
secret so that the IP address of a node can be verified by the entity
with which the node shares the secret.

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.
