Title : An IPv6 Prefix for Overlay Routable Cryptographic Hash Identifiers (ORCHID)
Author(s) : P. Nikander, et al.
Filename : draft-laganier-ipv6-khi-03.txt
Pages : 13
Date : 2006-8-1
This document introduces Overlay Routable Cryptographic Hash
Identifiers (ORCHID) as a new, experimental class of IPv6-address-
like identifiers. These identifiers are intended to be used as end-
point identifiers at applications and APIs and not as identifiers for
network location at the IP layer, i.e., locators. They are designed
to appear as application layer entities and at the existing IPv6
APIs, but they should not appear in actual IPv6 headers. To make
them more like vanilla IPv6 addresses, they are expected to be
routable at an overlay level. Consequently, while they are
considered as non-routable addresses from the IPv6 layer point of
view, all existing IPv6 applications are expected to be able to use
them in a manner compatible with current IPv6 addresses.
This document requests IANA to allocate a temporary prefix out of the
IPv6 addressing space for Overlay Routable Cryptographic Hash
Identifiers.

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.
