The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Integrity Check Value and Timestamp TLV Definitions for MANETs' (draft-ietf-manet-packetbb-sec-09.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Stewart Bryant. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-manet-packetbb-sec/ Technical Summary The document defines the mechanism for including a cryptographic signature for the key items in an RFC 5444 formatted packet. The document also specifies how mutable fields in the packet should be handled, such that the resulting signature can be correctly verified by a recipient. Working Group Summary The document has been reviewed by the working group quite carefully. The document reflects the consensus of the working group. Document Quality The document has received careful review. The shepherd does not know of any existing implementations at this time. Personnel Stan Ratliff (sratliff@cisco.com) is the Document Shepherd Adrian Farrel (adrian@olddog.co.uk) is the Responsible AD RFC Editor Note Section 1 OLD o One common method for generating ICVs as a cryptographic function, calculated over the hash value of the content to be signed. NEW o One common method for generating ICVs as a cryptographic function, calculated over the hash value of the content. END --- Section 3 OLD In Section 12, an example method for calculating such ICVs is given, using a cryptographic function over the hash value of the content to be signed. NEW In Section 12, an example method for calculating such ICVs is given, using a cryptographic function over the hash value of the content. END --- Section 12.1 OLD <key-id> is a field specifying the key identifier of the key that was used to sign the message, which allows unique identification of different keys with the same originator. NEW <key-id> is a field specifying the key identifier of the key that was used to calculate the ICV of the message, which allows unique identification of different keys with the same originator.
