The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Supporting Authentication Trailer for OSPFv3' (draft-ietf-ospf-auth-trailer-ospfv3-11.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Open Shortest Path First IGP Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Stewart Bryant and Adrian Farrel. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-auth-trailer-ospfv3/ Technical Summary Currently OSPFv3 uses IPsec as the only mechanism for authenticating protocol packets. This behavior is different from authentication mechanisms present in other routing protocols (OSPFv2, IS-IS, RIPng). In some environments, it has been found that IPsec is difficult to configure and maintain, and cannot be used. This document proposes an alternative mechanism to authenticate OSPFv3 protocol packets so that OSPFv3 does not depend upon only IPsec for authentication. Working Group Summary There was discussion about the size of Crypto Sequence Number. After much debate it was agreed to increase it from 32 bit to 64 bit. Document Quality This extension is similar to OSPFv2 Cryptographic Authentication where a message digest is appended to the end of the OSPF packet. There is no known implementation at this time.
