Follow up,

The good thing about CGA-TSIG or using CGA or SSAS as the algorithm is that,
if you only know the IP address (set it manually for the first time or can
receive it from a secure way like you can trust your router). Then no need
for any check on the public key since there is binding between this public
key and the IP address. Not sure the chairs uploaded the slides. If so you
can find the scenarios there as well.

Thanks,
Hosnieh
