A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Securing Neighbor Discovery Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Cryptographically Generated Addresses (CGA)
	Author(s)	: T. Aura

This document describes a method for binding a public signature key 
to an IPv6 address in Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND).  
Cryptographically Generated Addresses (CGA) are IPv6 addresses 
where the interface identifier is generated by computing a 
cryptographic one-way hash function from the address owner's public 
key and auxiliary parameters. The binding between the public key 
and the address can be verified by re-computing the hash value and 
by comparing the hash with the interface identifier. SEND protocol 
messages are protected with an Authentication Header (AH) that 
contains the public key and the auxiliary parameters and is signed 
with the corresponding private key. The protection works without a 
certification authority or other security infrastructure.

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.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
