Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   This document specifies integrity and replay protection for the MANET
   Neighborhood Discovery Protocol (NHDP) and the Optimized Link State
   Routing Protocol version 2 (OLSRv2).  This protection is achieved by
   using an HMAC-SHA-256 Integrity Check Value (ICV) TLV and a timestamp
   TLV based on POSIX time.

   The mechanism in this specification can also be used for other
   protocols that use the generalized packet/message format described in
   RFC 5444.

   This document updates RFC 6130 and the OLSRv2 spec (RFC xxxx) by
   mandating the implementation of this integrity and replay protection in 
   NHDP and OLSRv2.
