#156: draft-ietf-roll-security-threats-06 - RPL control message are broadcast


Comment (by mcr@sandelman.ca):

 A layer-2 symmetric key that has been shared between more than two nodes
 can not be used to
 provide data origin authentication.  That's the problem with
 broadcast/multicast messages and
 layer-2 keying.
 It works fine if you have complete trust in all of the nodes that have the
 layer-2 key.
 If you haven't got complete trust in all the nodes, then an asymmetric
 (layer-3) key needs to sign the broadcast messages.
