Title : An IPv6 Prefix for Overlay Routable Cryptographic Hash Identifiers (ORCHID)
Author(s) : P. Nikander, et al.
Filename : draft-laganier-ipv6-khi-06.txt
Pages : 14
Date : 2007-2-13
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 Application Programming
Interfaces (API) 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. By default, the prefix will be returned to IANA in
2027, continued use requiring IETF consensus.

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
