  1. FCAST updateTESLA update IETF 76– Hiroshima, November 2009 V. Roca (INRIA)

  2. FCAST update

  3. Modifications WRT July's -05 version • a lot of cleanup, especially W.R.T. NORM… • removed the possibility of having a streamlined meta-data in the original compound if NORM_INFO is used (since NORM_INFO support is optional) • clarified that the NORM_INFO compound object's checksum only encompasses the header • clarified that padding is not used when there's no Object Data in a compound object (NORM_INFO and "empty CIO list") • added NORM_INFO example (annex A.2) • Fcast-CIO-Complete and Fcast-CIO-ID meta-data entries of a CIO are now optional. Goal is to simplify the simple case of a session consisting of a single, complete, carousel instance (the CIO contains no meta-data, just the object list)

  4. And now? • FCAST: a simple, elegant and efficient solution for both protocol families (ALC/LCT and NORM) • officially a WG Item • even if -06 is still individual I-D • go into WGLC ?

  5. TESLA update

  6. Quick reminder on TESLA • a loss-tolerant, high-throughput, per packet, source authentication and integrity verification protocol • for "source → receivers" flow only • for ALC/LCT and NORM • with NORM, another mechanism is needed for feedback • along with group MAC/digital signatures, it provides a comprehensive set of techniques • see <draft-ietf-rmt-simple-auth-for-alc-norm-02.txt>, now in WGLC, please review ;-)

  7. Quick reminder on TESLA… (cont') • TESLA/Group MAC/digital signatures EXT_AUTH header extensions all start with an ASID (Auth. Scheme ID) field • several authentication schemes can be used jointly in the same session (e.g. NORM)

  8. Situation • TESLA is an MSEC document • passed WGLC (end 2008) • version -10 accepted by IESG last week • now in "RFC Editor Queue" state • Main recent modifications during IESG review: • removed several TESLA messages for the sake of simplicity • however it remains relatively complex  • corrected a major mistake in key derivation description • + many details
