A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Requirements on Fast Message Authentication Codes

This memo outlines requirements guiding the development of a fast
Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithm suitable for use with
many IETF protocols, but in particular routing protocols that use a
MAC for packet authentication.
It is widely conjectured that secure MACs that are fast in software
are possible, and many interesting MACs have appeared in the
literature. Nevertheless, none of these MACs have seen broad
adoption, and none are a good match for the routing protocol case.
We hope that this memo brings together MAC designers and MAC users
for a fruitful discussion.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-irtf-cfrg-fast-mac-requirements-01.txt".
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.
