Title : Keying and Authentication for Routing Protocols (KARP)

In the March of 2006 the IAB held a workshop on the topic of
"Unwanted Internet Traffic". The report from that workshop is
documented in RFC 4948 [RFC4948]. Section 8.2 of RFC 4948 calls
for [t]ightening the security of the core routing
infrastructure." Four main steps were identified for improving
the security of the routing infrastructure. One of those steps
was "securing the routing protocols' packets on the wire." One
mechanism for securing routing protocol packets on the wire is
the use of per-packet cryptographic message authentication,
providing both peer authentication and message integrity. Many
different routing protocols exist and they employ a range of
different transport subsystems. Therefore there must
necessarily be various methods defined for applying
cryptographic authentication to these varying protocols. Many
routing protocols already have some method for accomplishing
cryptographic message authentication. However, in many cases
the existing methods are dated, vulnerable to attack, and/or
employ cryptographic algorithms that have been deprecated.
This document is one of a series concerned with defining a
roadmap of protocol specification work for the use of modern
cryptographic mechanisms and algorithms for message
authentication in routing protocols. In particular, it defines
the framework for a key management protocol that may be used to
create and manage session keys for message authentication and
integrity. The overall roadmap reflects the input of both the
security area and routing area in order to form a jointly
agreed upon and prioritized work list for the effort.
