The IESG has received a request from the Keying and Authentication for Routing Protocols WG (karp) to consider the following document: - 'The Threat Analysis and Requirements for Cryptographic Authentication of Routing Protocols' Transports' <draft-ietf-karp-threats-reqs-03.txt> as an Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2011-08-15. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Different routing protocols exist and each employs its own mechanism for securing the protocol packets on the wire. While most already have some method for accomplishing cryptographic message authentication, in many cases the existing methods are dated, vulnerable to attack, and employ cryptographic algorithms that have been deprecated. The "Keying and Authentication for Routing Protocols" (KARP) effort aims to overhaul and improve these mechanisms. This document has two main parts - the first describes the threat analysis for attacks against routing protocols' transports and the second enumerates the requirements for addressing the described threats. This document, along with the KARP design guide will be used by KARP design teams for specific protocol review and overhaul. This document reflects the input of both the IETF's Security Area and Routing Area in order to form a jointly agreed upon guidance. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-karp-threats-reqs/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-karp-threats-reqs/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
