RFC 4581

CGA Extension Field Format

October 2006

1.

Introduction The Cryptographically Generated Address (CGA) specification [1] defines Extension Fields that allow additional information to be included in the CGA Parameter Data Structure. So far there seems to be enough interest in including additional data items into the CGA Parameter Data Structure through these Extension Fields that it seems reasonable to expect that more than one mechanism will require its usage. In order to simplify the addition of multiple data items, this document updates RFC 3972 [1], and it defines a Type-LengthValue format for the Extension Fields.

2.

CGA Extension Field Format Data items to be included in Extension Fields of the CGA Parameter Data Structure MUST be encoded using the following Type-Length-Value (TLV) format: 0 1 2 3 01234567890123456789012345678901 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Extension Type | Extension Data Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | ~ Extension Data ~ | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Extension Type: 16-bit identifier of the type of the Extension Field. Extension Data Length: 16-bit unsigned integer. Extension Data field of this option, in octets. Extension Data: Variable-length field. Length of the

Extension-Type-specific data.

3.

IANA Considerations The IANA has created and will Extension Type". The values integers. Initial values for below; future assignments are [2]. Assignments consist of maintain a registry entitled, in this name space are 16-bit the CGA Extension Type field to be made through Standards a name and the value. "CGA unsigned are given Action

As recommended in [3], this document makes the following assignments for experimental and testing use: the value 0xFFFD, with name Exp_FFFD; the value 0xFFFE, with name Exp_FFFE, and the value 0xFFFF, with name Exp_FFFF.

Security Considerations No security concerns format described in is required when new that they introduce schemes. are raised by the adoption of the CGA Extension this document. However, proper security analysis CGA Extensions are defined in order to make sure no new vulnerabilities to the existing CGA
