Automated Group Keying for OSPFv3 liuya@huawei.com OSPF WG, IETF #67
Background • RFC4552 provides authentication/confidentiality to OSPFv3 using AH/ESP. • Manual Keying is recommended as default keying method • Scalability issue • Security issue • Standard GKM protocols have been defined by MSEC WG • It is feasible and necessary to define an automated group keying method for OSPFv3 using GKM protocols.
Aspects to think about … • Flexibility • Sizes of OSPF domains vary greatly, the keying solution must fit in both small-, medium- and large-scale domains. • One router, different groups • A router’s interfaces may be assigned to different security groups. • Compatible with draft-ietf-msec-ipsec-extensions-01.txt • Extended IPsec architecture with support of IP multicast packets processing
Keying Protocol Options • GDOI • New protocol needs to be defined for communications among GCKSes if distributed control model is used. • GSAKMP • New extensions and profiles need to be defined for GSAKMP, a powerful group keying framework.
