directories.

	Title		: Cryptographic Algorithm Implementation Requirements for IS-IS
	Author(s)	: M. Bhatia, V. Manral

IS-IS currently defines two different kinds of authentication 
   schemes: Clear Text password and HMAC-MD5. There has been recently a 
   new draft submitted that adds support for a generic cryptographic 
   authentication scheme, which can make use of different cryptographic 
   algorithms in order to authenticate the IS-IS PDUs.  

   To ensure interoperability between disparate implementations, it is 
   imperative that we specify a set of mandatory-to-implement algorithms 
   to ensure that there is at least one algorithm that all 
   implementations will have available.   

   This document defines the current set of mandatory-to-implement 
   algorithms to be used for the cryptographic authentication for IS-IS    as well as specifying the algorithms that should be implemented 
   because they may be promoted to mandatory at some future time.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
