Title : In-Band Authentication Extension for Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) Author(s) : Manav Bhatia Dacheng Zhang Filename : draft-bhatia-zhang-pim-auth-extension-02.txt Pages : 11 Date : 2012-09-06 Abstract: Existing security mechanisms for the Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) routing protocol mandates to use IPsec to provide message authenticity and integrity. This draft proposes an embedded authentication mechanism to facilitate data origin authentication and integrity verification for PIM packets in the cases where IPsec is not applied.
