Simple Authentication Schemes for the Asynchronous Layered Coding and NACK-Oriented Reliable Multicast Protocols
RFC 6584, “Simple Authentication Schemes for the Asynchronous Layered Coding and NACK-Oriented Reliable Multicast Protocols”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2012 by V. Roca. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document introduces four schemes that provide per-packet authentication, integrity, and anti-replay services in the context of the Asynchronous Layered Coding (ALC) and NACK-Oriented Reliable Multicast (NORM) protocols. The first scheme is based on RSA Digital Signatures. The second scheme relies on the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA). The third scheme relies on a Group- keyed Message Authentication Code (MAC). Finally, the fourth scheme merges the Digital Signature and group schemes. These schemes have different target use cases, and they do not all provide the same service. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
