Abstract:
Different routing protocols employ different mechanisms for securing
protocol packets on the wire. While most already have some method
for accomplishing cryptographic message authentication, in many cases
the existing methods are dated, vulnerable to attack, and employ
cryptographic algorithms that have been deprecated. The "Keying and
Authentication for Routing Protocols" (KARP) effort aims to overhaul
and improve these mechanisms.
This document does not contain protocol specifications. Instead, it
defines the areas where protocol specification work is needed and a
set of requirements for KARP design teams to follow. RFC 6518,
"Keying and Authentication for Routing Protocols (KARP) Design
Guidelines" is a companion to this document; KARP design teams will
use them together to review and overhaul routing protocols. These
two documents reflect the input of both the IETF Security Area and
IETF Routing Area in order to form a mutually agreeable work plan.
This document has three main parts. The first part provides an
overview of the KARP effort. The second part lists the threats from
RFC 4593 (Generic Threats To Routing Protocols) that are in scope for
attacks against routing protocol transport systems. This includes
any mechanisms built into the routing protocols themselves, to
authenticate packets. The third part enumerates the requirements
that routing protocol specifications must meet when addressing those
threats for RFC 6518's "Work Phase 1", the update to a routing
protocol's existing transport security.
