Title: The Use of RSA Signatures within ESP and AH
State: Pending
Authors: Brian Weis
Group: Multicast Security (msec)
Date: 2004-11-18
This memo describes the use of the RSA Digital Signature algorithm as an
authentication algorithm within the revised IP Encapsulating Security
Payload (ESP) as described in RFC XXXX and the revised IP Authentication
Header (AH) as described in RFC YYYY. The use of a digital signature
algorithm, such as RSA, provides data origin authentication in applications
when a secret key method (e.g., HMAC) does not provide this property. One
example is the use of ESP and AH to authenticate the sender of an IP
multicast packet. Further information on the other components necessary for
ESP and AH implementations is provided by [ROADMAP].
