The Secure Neighbor Discovery Hash Threat Analysis
RFC 6273, “The Secure Neighbor Discovery Hash Threat Analysis”, is an Informational document published in June 2011 by A. Kukec, S. Krishnan, S. Jiang. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document analyzes the use of hashes in Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND), the possible threats to these hashes and the impact of recent attacks on hash functions used by SEND. The SEND specification currently uses the SHA-1 hash algorithm and PKIX certificates and does not provide support for hash algorithm agility. This document provides an analysis of possible threats to the hash algorithms used in SEND. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
