The IESG has received a request from the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks WG (manet) to consider the following document: - 'Integrity Protection for Control Messages in NHDP and OLSRv2' <draft-ietf-manet-nhdp-olsrv2-sec-03.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-08-14. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies integrity and replay protection for the MANET Neighborhood Discovery Protocol (NHDP) and the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol version 2 (OLSRv2). This protection is achieved by using an HMAC-SHA-256 Integrity Check Value (ICV) TLV and a timestamp TLV based on POSIX time. The mechanism in this specification can also be used for other protocols that use the generalized packet/message format described in RFC 5444. This document updates RFC 6130 and RFC xxxx by mandating the implementation of this integrity and replay protection in NHDP and OLSRv2. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-manet-nhdp-olsrv2-sec/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-manet-nhdp-olsrv2-sec/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
