Title : Cryptographic Algorithm Implementation Requirements for IS-IS
Author(s) : M. Bhatia, V. Manral
Filename : draft-bhatia-manral-crypto-req-isis-00.txt
Pages : 7
Date : 2006-7-21
IS-IS currently defines two different kinds of authentication
schemes: Clear Text password and HMAC-MD5. There has been recently a
new draft submitted that adds support for a generic cryptographic
authentication scheme, which can make use of different cryptographic
algorithms in order to authenticate the IS-IS PDUs.
To ensure interoperability between disparate implementations, it is
imperative that we specify a set of mandatory-to-implement algorithms
to ensure that there is at least one algorithm that all
implementations will have available.
This document defines the current set of mandatory-to-implement
algorithms to be used for the cryptographic authentication for IS-IS
as well as specifying the algorithms that should be implemented
because they may be promoted to mandatory at some future time.

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.
