This document describes the Secure Routing Protocol (SRP), a route discovery protocol
for ad hoc networks that mitigates the detrimental effects of maliciously behaving
nodes that disrupt the route discovery in order to obstruct or disable the network
operation. Our protocol provides correct routing information; i.e., factual,
up-to-date and authentic connectivity information regarding a pair of nodes that wish
to communicate in a secure manner. The sole requirement is that any two such end nodes
have a security association.
Accordingly, SRP does not require that any of the intermediate nodes perform
cryptographic operations or have a prior association with the end nodes. The
end-to-end operation of SRP allows for efficient cryptographic mechanisms, such as
message authentication codes. More importantly, SRP can be used in a wide range of
MANET instances, without restrictive assumptions on the underlying trust, network size
and membership.

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
