New multi6 draft: WIMP

Hi,

We have submitted a new multi6 draft to I-D directory. The draft
defines a Weak Identifier Multihoming Protocol (WIMP), and we
wrote it in order to see how opportunistic/weak authentication methods could
be used to solve the multi6 problem.

WIMP is one of those protocols that introduce a new protocol layer
between IP and upper layers. Our approach uses some very basic
cryptograpahic funtions (reverse hash chains and secret splitting) in
order to have light and (hopefully) simple solution. The protocol
is not buller broof from security point of view, however, it intends
to be secure enough and easy to implement.

We hope it will stimulate discussion on various solution to multi6 problem.

See more details from the draft itself, available in:
