+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-Length-
+ Value 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
+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | 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. Length of the
+ Extension Data field of this option, in octets.
+
+ Extension Data: Variable-length field. Extension-Type-specific data.
+
+3. IANA Considerations
+
+ The IANA has created and will maintain a registry entitled, "CGA
+ Extension Type". The values in this name space are 16-bit unsigned
+ integers. Initial values for the CGA Extension Type field are given
+ below; future assignments are to be made through Standards Action
+ [2]. Assignments consist of a name and the value.
+
+ 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.

+
+4. Security Considerations
+
+ No security concerns are raised by the adoption of the CGA Extension
+ format described in this document. However, proper security analysis
+ is required when new CGA Extensions are defined in order to make sure
+ that they introduce no new vulnerabilities to the existing CGA
+ schemes.
