Identity-Based Signatures for Mobile Ad Hoc Network Routing Protocols

Overview

RFC 7859, “Identity-Based Signatures for Mobile Ad Hoc Network Routing Protocols”, is an Experimental document published in May 2016 by C. Dearlove. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document extends RFC 7182, which specifies a framework for (and specific examples of) Integrity Check Values (ICVs) for packets and messages using the generalized packet/message format specified in RFC 5444. It does so by defining an additional cryptographic function that allows the creation of an ICV that is an Identity-Based Signature (IBS), defined according to the Elliptic Curve-Based Certificateless Signatures for Identity-Based Encryption (ECCSI) algorithm specified in RFC 6507.
