Subject: [magma] Multicast Router Discovery - security issues

The security section of the MRD spec could use some
work.  The current structure of the protocol does not
allow for encryption.  However, I don't think MRD needs
that capability.  One issue that should be addressed is
whether authentication/data integrity support is a
requirement.  It is possible that MRD could re-use the
work going on in SEND for this (at least in v6).  At a
minimum, the spec sould mention the SEND effort.

My current plan is to provide a more robust security
assessment in the Security Considerations sections.
If there are particular security issues that people
feel need to be mentioned, let me know.

Regards,
Brian
