LDP Hello Cryptographic Authentication
RFC 7349, “LDP Hello Cryptographic Authentication”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2014 by L. Zheng, M. Chen, M. Bhatia. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document introduces a new optional Cryptographic Authentication TLV that LDP can use to secure its Hello messages. It secures the Hello messages against spoofing attacks and some well-known attacks against the IP header. This document describes a mechanism to secure the LDP Hello messages using Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC) with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Secure Hash Standard family of algorithms.
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.
