The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Integrity Protection for Control Messages in NHDP and OLSRv2' (draft-ietf-manet-nhdp-olsrv2-sec-05.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Stewart Bryant. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-manet-nhdp-olsrv2-sec/ Technical Summary 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 the OLSRv2 spec (RFC xxxx) by mandating the implementation of this integrity and replay protection in NHDP and OLSRv2. Working Group Summary Working group consensus behind the document is observed as strong. There are numerous authors and contributors that feel this document is ready to proceed.
