To: bsdi-users@BSDI.COM Sender: owner-bsdi-users@hidden-foes.gateway.com Subject: FYI: NRL IPv6/IPsec software available From: Ran Atkinson <rja@cisco.com> FYI: The NRL implementation of IPv6 and IP Security (for both IPv4 and IPv6) has mysteriously appeared online at: ftp://ftp.c2.org ftp://ftp.hacktic.nl This software is of "alpha release" quality and includes source for the following features: (1) a prototype of IPv6 (aka IPng) including the changes needed in upper-layer protocols, the rest of the kernel, and some selected applications (e.g. telnet, netstat, ifconfig). (2) a prototype of IP Security [RFC-1825 thru RFC-1829] that works with either IPv4 or IPv6. This also includes -- PF_KEY, which is the new Key Management API for BSD systems -- Key Engine to store and manage Security Associations, including keys, inside the BSD kernel. -- cryptographic authentication using Keyed MD5 -- confidentiality via use of DES in CBC mode -- libdes-3.00 (to implement the above; this is export-controlled) It will drop into BSDI with little effort and should compile out of the box. It is not supported software and is only useful to kernel hackers with full sources. Beginners ought NOT start with this software. Problems with the implementation (or better, patches with bug fixes or enhancements) should be sent to: ipv6-bugs@itd.nrl.navy.mil For now, the folks at NRL continue to work on enhancing this software and it is hoped that another software snapshot will appear online soon (but only they know when it will happen :-). Ran rja@inet.org -- With best regards -- Andrew Stesin. +380 (44) 2760188 +380 (44) 2713457 +380 (44) 2713560 An undocumented feature is a coding error.
