The IESG has approved the following document: - 'TCP-AO Test Vectors' (draft-ietf-tcpm-ao-test-vectors-09.txt) as Informational RFC
This document is the product of the TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Zaheduzzaman Sarker and Martin Duke. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tcpm-ao-test-vectors/ Technical Summary This document provides test vectors to validate implementations of the two mandatory authentication algorithms specified for the TCP Authentication Option over both IPv4 and IPv6. This includes validation of the key derivation function (KDF) based on a set of test connection parameters as well as validation of the message authentication code (MAC). Vectors are provided for both currently required pairs of KDF and MAC algorithms: KDF_HMAC_SHA1 and HMAC- SHA-1-96, and KDF_AES_128_CMAC and AES-128-CMAC-96. The vectors also validate both whole TCP segments as well as segments whose options are excluded for middlebox traversal. Working Group Summary This is a niche interest, so there was less TCPM review than usual, but there was also no controversy. Document Quality The test vectors here have been verified by multiple sources. TCP-AO is often used in routers. Personnel The Shepherd is Michael Scharf. The responsible AD is Martin Duke. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
