Integrity Protection for the Neighborhood Discovery Protocol and Optimized Link State Routing Protocol Version 2
RFC 7183, “Integrity Protection for the Neighborhood Discovery Protocol and Optimized Link State Routing Protocol Version 2”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2014 by U. Herberg, C. Dearlove, T. Clausen. It updates RFC 6130, RFC 7181. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies integrity and replay protection for the Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Neighborhood Discovery Protocol (NHDP) and the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol version 2 (OLSRv2). This protection is achieved by using an HMAC-SHA-256 Integrity Check Value (ICV) TLV and a Timestamp TLV based on Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) time.
The mechanism in this specification can also be used for other protocols that use the generalized packet/message format described in RFC 5444.
This document updates RFC 6130 and RFC 7181 by mandating the implementation of this integrity and replay protection in NHDP and OLSRv2.
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.
