SEND cryptographically secures the IPv6 neighbor discovery +protocol, countering the threats discussed in RFC3756 (IPv6 Neighbor +Discovery (ND) Trust Models and Threats). -DoCoMo's SEND is implemented completely in user space, so it is -portable and lends itself to experimentation. It currently runs on -Linux (tested on 2.6 kernels) and FreeBSD (tested on 5.4). +The implementation is a new version of DoCoMo's SEND (send_0.2) that +was implemented completely in user space. Novelty in send_0.3 is the +native SEND API that avoids the need for the use of netgraph and BPF, +which makes send_0.3 portable over different BSD platforms and +significantlly more efficient. Also included in the distribution are implementations of RFC3972 Cryptographically Generated Addresses (CGAs) and RFC3779 X.509 Extensions for IP Addresses and AS Identifiers. - -WWW: http://www.docomolabs-usa.com/lab_osrc_guide.html |
