-- OPENSOLARIS PROJECT PROPOSAL --Project Name: Shim6: Level 3 Multihoming Shim Protocol for IPv6 Project Synopsis: Implement RFC 5533, 5534, and 5535 in OpenSolaris. Project Purpose: The Shim6 protocol has been developed in the IETF and recently appeared as a set of three RFCs. Shim6 provides the ability for hosts to recover from IP communication failures when the hosts have two or more IP addresses, by the shim switching from using one pair of IP addresses to another pair. This is done transparently to TCP, UDP and other transport protocols. The switch between IP addresses is a potential source of security problems. Shim6 avoids those by using Hash Based Addresses (HBA) or Cryptographically Generated Addresses (CGA), which are light-weight methods that do not require any 3rd party infrastructure (such as PKI) yet provide protection against off path attackers trying to use shim6 to redirect packets. The discussion will take place on the existing [email protected] list.
