Keying and Authentication for Routing Protocols Design Guidelines
RFC 6518, “Keying and Authentication for Routing Protocols Design Guidelines”, is an Informational document published in February 2012 by G. Lebovitz, M. Bhatia. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document is one of a series concerned with defining a roadmap of protocol specification work for the use of modern cryptographic mechanisms and algorithms for message authentication in routing protocols. In particular, it defines the framework for a key management protocol that may be used to create and manage session keys for message authentication and integrity. 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.
