A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Security Requirements of IPv6 Anycast
Author(s) : L. Dondeti et al.
Filename : draft-dondeti-ipv6-anycast-security-00.txt
Pages : 8

This document discusses the security issues within network-layer any-
cast protocols. In particular, it focuses on anycast server registra-
tion with routers in an IPv6 network. Servers need to be authenti-
cated and authorized to provide a particular anycast service. Clients
need to be able to verify that an anycast server is authentic. While
infrastructure security is the main focus of this document, we also
identify the need for secure communication between anycast clients
and servers.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
