A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection Working Group of the IETF. Title : Authenticating BFD using HMAC-SHA-2 procedures Author(s) : Dacheng Zhang Manav Bhatia Vishwas Manral Filename : draft-ietf-bfd-hmac-sha-02.txt Pages : 10 Date : 2012-10-18 Abstract: This document describes the mechanism to authenticate Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol packets using Hashed Message Authentication Mode (HMAC) with the SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 algorithms. The described mechanism uses the Generic Cryptographic Authentication and Generic Meticulous Cryptographic Authentication sections to carry the authentication data. This document updates, but does not supercede, the cryptographic authentication mechanism specified in RFC 5880.
