A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the RIP Version II Working Group
of the IETF.
Title : RIP-II MD5 Authentication
Author(s) : F. Baker
Filename : draft-ietf-ripv2-md5-auth-00.txt
Pages : 14
Date : 03/07/1997
Growth in the Internet has made us aware of the need for improved
authentication of routing information. RIP-II provides for unauthenticated
service (as in classical RIP), or password authentication. Both are
vulnerable to passive attacks currently widespread in the Internet.
Well-understood security issues exist in routing protocols [4]. Clear text
passwords, currently specified for use with RIP-II, are no longer
considered sufficient [5].
Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
"get draft-ietf-ripv2-md5-auth-00.txt".
A URL for the Internet-Draft is:
ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ripv2-md5-auth-00.txt

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ripv2-md5-auth-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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 Internet-Draft.
