The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Operations Model for Router Keying' (draft-ietf-karp-ops-model-10.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-ops-model/ Technical Summary The IETF is engaged in an effort to analyze security of routing protocol authentication according to design guidelines discussed in RFC 6518. Developing an operational and management model for routing protocol security that works with all the routing protocols will be critical to the deployability of these efforts. This document gives recommendations to operators and implementors regarding management and operation of router authentication. These recommendations will also assist protocol designers in understanding management issues they will face. Working Group Summary The need for this document is clearly indicated in order to meet the KARP charter. There has been little controversy. Document Quality This document has had the benefit of review from many members of the Security Area as well as the Routing Area. This document received substantial review from individuals participating in the KARP WG, and there is a clear consensus to progress it. . The WGLC was also advertised to the OPSEC WG, and at least one key review was made by a member of that group. Since the document discusses operational security, this was critical in confirming the quality of the document. Personnel Brian Weis is the Document Shepherd. Stewart Bryant is the Responsible Area Director.
