A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5310 Title: IS-IS Generic Cryptographic Authentication Author: M. Bhatia, V. Manral, T. Li, R. Atkinson, R. White, M. Fanto Status: Standards Track Date: February 2009 Mailbox: manav@alcatel-lucent.com, vishwas@ipinfusion.com, tony.li@tony.li, rja@extremenetworks.com, riw@cisco.com, mfanto@aegisdatasecurity.com Pages: 12 Characters: 24521 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-isis-hmac-sha-07.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5310.txt This document proposes an extension to Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) to allow the use of any cryptographic authentication algorithm in addition to the already-documented authentication schemes, described in the base specification and RFC 5304. IS-IS is specified in International Standards Organization (ISO) 10589, with extensions to support Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) described in RFC 1195. Although this document has been written specifically for using the Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC) construct along with the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) family of cryptographic hash functions, the method described in this document is generic and can be used to extend IS-IS to support any cryptographic hash function in the future. [STANDARDS TRACK] This document is a product of the IS-IS for IP Internets Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
