Title : An IPv6 Prefix for Overlay Routable Cryptographic
Hash Identifiers Version 2 (ORCHIDv2)
Authors : Julien Laganier

Abstract:
This document specifies an updated Overlay Routable Cryptographic
Hash Identifiers format that obsoletes RFC4843. These identifiers
are intended to be used as endpoint identifiers at applications and
Application Programming Interfaces (API) and not as identifiers for
network location at the IP layer, i.e., locators. They are designed
to appear as application layer entities and at the existing IPv6
APIs, but they should not appear in actual IPv6 headers. To make
them more like regular IPv6 addresses, they are expected to be
routable at an overlay level. Consequently, while they are
considered non-routable addresses from the IPv6 layer point-of-view,
all existing IPv6 applications are expected to be able to use them in
a manner compatible with current IPv6 addresses.
The Overlay Routable Cryptographic Hash Identifiers originally
defined in RFC4843 lacked a mechanism for cryptographic algorithm
agility. The updated ORCHID format specified in this document
removes this limitation by encoding in the identifier itself an index
to the suite of cryptographic algorithms in use.
