The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Identity-Based Signatures for MANET Routing Protocols' (draft-ietf-manet-ibs-05.txt) as Experimental RFC This document is the product of the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-manet-ibs/ Technical Summary This document updates RFC7182, which specifies a framework for, and specific examples of, integrity check values (ICVs) for packets and messages using the generalized packet/message format specified in RFC5444. It does so by defining an additional cryptographic function that allows the creation of an ICV that is an identity-based signature, defined according to the ECCSI (Elliptic Curve-Based Certificateless Signatures for Identity-Based Encryption) algorithm specified in RFC6507. Working Group Summary: The document was presented at the WG meeting at IETFâ90, and had reasonable discussion both before and after this meeting. There were significant expression of support for adoption as WG document, a couple of reviews posted after adoption, which were addressed. On the authorâs initiative, external verification of the example provided in Appendix A was sought from a crypto-expert. WGLC saw positive support for publication, with nobody appearing to be âin the rough" Document Quality: There are existing implementations of this extension mechanism, known to the document shepherd. Dr. Benjamin Smith provided independent verification of the example provided in Appendix A, and is recognized for this in the acknowledgements. No media type, nor MIB doctor, review done, as this was not needed This document contains a downward normative reference to the informational RFC 6507. This was explicitly called out in the IETF last call. Personnel: The document shepherd is: Thomas Clausen The responsible Area Director is: Adrian Farrel
