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 does not contain protocol specifications. Instead, it
defines the areas where protocol specification work is needed and a
set of requirements for KARP design teams to follow. RFC 6518,
"Keying and Authentication for Routing Protocols (KARP) Design
Guidelines" is a companion to this document; KARP design teams will
use them together to review and overhaul routing protocols. These
two documents reflect the input of both the IETF's Security Area and
Routing Area in order to form a mutually agreeable work plan.
This document has three main parts. The first part provides an
overview of the KARP effort. The second part lists the threats from
RFC 4593, Generic Threats To Routing Protocols, that are in scope for
attacks against routing protocols' transport systems, including any
mechanisms built into the routing protocols themselves, which
accomplish packet authentication. The third part enumerates the
requirements that routing protocol specifications must meet when
addressing those threats for RFC 6518's "Work Phase 1", the update to
a routing protocol's existing transport security.
