A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title		: OSPF HMAC Cryptographic Authentication
	Author(s)	: M. Bhatia, et al.
	Filename	: draft-bhatia-manral-white-ospf-hmac-sha-01.txt
	Pages		: 10
	Date		: 2006-7-28

This document describes a mechanism for authenticating OSPF packets    
by making use of the HMAC algorithm in conjunction with the SHA   
family of cryptographic hash functions. Because of the way the hash 
functions are used in HMAC construction, the collision attacks 
currently known against SHA-1 do not apply.  

This will be done in addition to the already documented 
authentication schemes described in the base specification.

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.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
