Title : Authentication-Key Rollover mechanism for Routing and Management Protocols
Author(s) : S. Viswanathan, et al.
Filename : draft-viswanathan-keyrollover-00.txt
Pages : 22
Date : 2006-10-12
This memo discusses the authentication for routing and management
protocols based on preconfigured keys,the need and basis for key
rollover, and an mechanism to seamlessly rollover the authentication
keys. It is intended for an application where secure administrative
access to all the end-points of the protocol connection is normally
available.
The strategy described herein improves upon the current practice
where a key is preconifigured at all endpoints and the key rollover
is done manually within a short synchronized window to avoid
connection drops due to key mismatch.

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
