The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'LDP Hello Cryptographic Authentication' <draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-hello-crypto-auth-05.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 2014-05-21. 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 introduces a new optional Cryptographic Authentication TLV that LDP can use to secure its Hello messages. It secures the Hello messages against spoofing attacks and some well known attacks against the IP header. This document describes a mechanism to secure the LDP Hello messages using National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Secure Hash Standard family of algorithms. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-hello-crypto-auth/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-hello-crypto-auth/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
