The IESG has approved the following document: - 'MAC authentication for the Babel routing protocol' (draft-ietf-babel-hmac-12.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Babel routing protocol Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Deborah Brungard and Martin Vigoureux. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-babel-hmac/ Technical Summary This document describes a cryptographic authentication mechanism for the Babel routing protocol that has provisions for replay avoidance. It utilizes HMAC based message authentication codes (MACs). Working Group Summary The Babel WG was principally Chartered to produce a Standards Track version of the Babel protocol which was originally documented in Experimental RFCs including the basic protocol in RFC 6126 and HMAC based authentication in RFC 7298. In working on this transition, rfc6126bis and rfc7298bis drafts were created; however, while the first was adopted by the WG, the WG declined to adopt the rfc7298bis draft and an alternative babel-hmac draft was created and adopted as draft-ietf-babel-hmac. There has been extensive discussion of hmac security and this draft on the list and a clear consensus to approve it. Document Quality There are multiple implementations of this draft. The document has received multiple reviews and is of high quality. Personnel Document Shepherd: Donald Eastlake, 3rd Responsible Area Director: Martin Vigoureux
