Routing protocols are designed to use cryptographic mechanisms to
authenticate data being received from a neighboring router to ensure
that it has not been modified in transit, and actually originated
from the neighboring router purporting to have originating the data.
Most of the cryptographic mechanisms defined to date rely on hash
algorithms applied to the data in the routing protocol packet, which
means the data is transported, in the clear, along with a signature
based on the data itself. These mechanisms rely on the manual
configuration of the keys used to seed, or build, these hash based
signatures. This document outlines some of the problems with manual
keying of these cryptographic algorithms.
