The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Analysis of OSPF Security According to KARP Design Guide' (draft-ietf-karp-ospf-analysis-06.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Keying and Authentication for Routing Protocols Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Stewart Bryant and Adrian Farrel. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-karp-ospf-analysis/ Technical Summary This document analyzes the security mechanisms for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3, according to the guidelines set forth in RFC 6518. In analyzes the current state of each protocol, describes gaps, and discusses work that needs to be done to close those gaps. Working Group Summary This document is the first of a series of documents analyzing routing protocol security, which is the initial mission of the working group. There was little controversy of note. Members and chairs of the OSPF WG were active in its development and review. Document Quality The document meets the criteria for the phase 1 analysis as defined in RFC 6518. Recommendations of methods of closing security gaps have already been included in I-Ds accepted as OSPF WG documents. Personnel Brian Weis <bew@cisco.com> is the document shepherd. Stewart Bryant <stbryant@cisco.com> is the responsible AD. RFC Editor Note OLD A security solution will be developed for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 based on the OSPFv2 cryptographic authentication option. This solution will have NEW It is recommended that the OSPF Working Group develop a solution for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 based on the OSPFv2 cryptographic authentication option. This solution would have ... END
