Abstract:
This document describes the usage of Router Fingerprint
Authentication (RFA) with public keys. This can be used as a peer
authentication method with KARP Key Management Protocol (KMP). KARP
KMP automates key negotiation for securing TCP-based pairwise Routing
Protocols (RPs) like BGP, LDP. The advantage of RFA is, neither it
requires out-of-band, mutually agreeable symmetric keys nor a full
PKI based system (trust anchor or CA certificates) for mutual
authentication of the peers with KARP KMP deployments. Usage of
Router Fingerprints give a significant operational improvement from
symmetric key based systems and yet provide a secure authentication
technique.
