This document introduces a new optional Cryptographic Authentication
TLV that LDP can use to secure its Hello messages.  It secures the
Hello messages against spoofing attacks and some well-known attacks
against the IP header.  This document describes a mechanism to secure
the LDP Hello messages using Hashed Message Authentication Code
(HMAC) with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
Secure Hash Standard family of algorithms.

This document is a product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
