[karp] FW: I-D Action: draft-atwood-karp-akam-rp-01.txt

We have posted draft-atwood-karp-akam-rp-01, which presents what we believe is a general architecture and protocols for achieving key management and adjacency management for Routing Protocol updates.  This is a component of the solution for one of the goals of KARP:
  - Define one or more frameworks describing the common elements for modern authentication in routing protocols.

Some preliminary ideas were presented at IETF 83 in Paris.  At that time, we had no corresponding Internet Draft.  The draft that has been posted today represents the completion of the first phase of work in our laboratory at Concordia.  It is a mix of justification and proposed solutions; it was presented this way (literally copy-pasting from Revathi's thesis) to get the information onto the screens of the Working Group members as quickly as possible.  We apologize for the fact that the figures are not in the draft; version -03 will be presented as soon as the submission tool re-opens (Sunday, July 29 at 17:00 Vancouver time), and will contain the missing ASCII art, once we translate from the figures in the thesis.

Our hope is to stimulate discussion on the suitability of the proposed approach.  We have asked for a presentation slot at IETF 84 in Vancouver.  If we get positive feedback, then we will present future revisions to the draft that will move it from a design document to a protocol specification.  If it is appropriate, we will produce two documents: one stating requirements for Automatic Key Management (AKM), and the other specifying the message exchanges among the components of the AKM framework.

Any and all comments are welcome, before, during, or after IETF 84.

Abstract:
   When tightening the security of the core routing infrastructure, two
   steps are necessary.  The first is to secure the routing protocols'
   packets on the wire.  The second is to ensure that the keying
   material for the routing protocol exchanges is distributed only to
   the appropriate routers.  This document specifies requirements on
   that distribution and proposes the use of a set of protocols to
   achieve those requirements.
