Hosnieh, I have read your draft. And I have the following comments. SEND already offers what you are looking for. It has the Timestamp and the Signature options which are attached to the DNP messages. So, the new benefits of your approach are not clear to me. I agree with the claim that CGA is compute intensive, but one can use Sec=0 or 1. In this case the computation of the CGA (SEND) would be equivalent to the complexity of your approach. Therefore the enhancements that are proposed to protect the user privacy by setting a lifetime for the generated address (e.g. 2 days) or generating the key pairs by CGA code can be directly applied to the CGA and SEND implementation without significant change to proposed standard. In Section 5, “… it provides proof of address ownership at a speed that is about 600 times faster than that of the CGA algorithm.” For which Sec value this comparison was done?

This draft tries to offer a solution to this problem while at the same time considering the generation and verification times and complexity of the existing algorithms. Please take a look. Comments are greatly appreciated. Thank you, Hosnieh Filename: draft-rafiee-6man-ssas Revision: 00 Title: A Simple Secure Addressing Generation Scheme for IPv6 AutoConfiguration (SSAS) Creation date: 2013-01-02 WG ID: Individual Submission Number of pages: 13 URL: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rafiee-6man-ssas-00.txt Status: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-rafiee-6man-ssas Htmlized: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-rafiee-6man-ssas-00 Abstract: The default method for IPv6 address generation uses two unique manufacturer IDs that are assigned by the IEEE Standards Association [1] (section 2.5.1 RFC-4291) [RFC4291]. This means that a node will always have the same Interface ID (IID) whenever it connects to a new network. Because the node's IP address does not change, the node is vulnerable to privacy related attacks. To address this issue, there are currently two mechanisms in use to randomize the IID, Cryptographically Generated Addresses (CGA) [RFC3972] and Privacy Extension [RFC4941]. The problem with the former approach is the computational cost involved for the IID generation. The problem with the latter approach is that it lacks security. This document offers a new algorithm for use in the generation of the IID while, at the same time, securing the node against some types of attack, such as IP spoofing. These attacks are prevented with the addition of a signature to the Neighbor Discovery messages (NDP). -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 -------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ CGA-EXT mailing list CGA-EXT@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/cga-ext
