The IESG has received a request from the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks WG (manet) to consider the following document: - 'Identity-Based Signatures for MANET Routing Protocols' <draft-ietf-manet-ibs-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 2014-10-27. 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 updates RFC7182, which specifies a framework for, and specific examples of, integrity check values (ICVs) for packets and messages using the generalized packet/message format specified in RFC5444. It does so by defining an additional cryptographic function that allows the creation of an ICV that is an identity-based signature, defined according to the ECCSI (Elliptic Curve-Based Certificateless Signatures for Identity-Based Encryption) algorithm specified in RFC6507. This document contains a downward normative reference (a downref [RFC3967 and RFC4897]) to the informational RFC 6507. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-manet-ibs/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-manet-ibs/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
