Re: [Mipshop] WG Last Call on draft-ietf-mipshop-cga-cba-01.txt

["CAO, ZHEN" <caozhenpku at gmail.com>]

Hi everybody,

 

In section 3 Protocol Design:

<snip>

   Semi-permanent security associations

      Cryptographically generated addresses involve public-key
      cryptography and are computationally inefficient to validate.
<snip>

 

IMO, cryptographically generated address generation and verification does not need any public-key cryptographical computation (only hash computation). Only when the CGA signature is used will the public-key cryptography be involved. I think the sentence here refers to the CGA signature or implys that any CGA should be used with a private key signature. But unfortunately it is not clear enough in the document.

 

Many thanks,

Zhen
