Hi,
we would like to submit the attached draft for the consideration of the
Internet Area.
This is a very simple and short draft that defines a format for CGA
extensions.
As you know, Cryptographically Generated Addresses are defined in
RFC3972. Their main feature is that they contain a hash of a public key
in the interface identifier part.
As currently defined, CGA allow to include additional information in
the input of the hash i.e. in the iid. However, the format of such
extensions is not defined in the draft.
Lately there are a few initiatives to define such extensions, in
particular, the Hash Based Addresses (draft-ietf-shim6-hba-01) are
defined as a CGA extension.
The goal of the attached draft is to simply define a standard format
for such extensions.
Probably the Internet Area list is a good place to discuss this, since
the SEND wg (which defined the CGAs) is over and the CGAs are then a
general tool which usage is being considered in several internet area
wg.
I guess that the idea would be to try to go forward with this as a
personal submission, not related to any specific wg. Hence, the
discussion here is most welcome.
Regards, marcelo

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.
