This memo describes a mechanism to provide a secure binding between
   the multiple addresses with different prefixes available to a host
   within a multihomed site.  The main idea is that information about
   the multiple prefixes is included within the addresses themselves.
   This is achieved by generating the interface identifiers of the
   addresses of a host as hashes of the available prefixes and a random
   number.  Then, the multiple addresses are generated by prepending the
   different prefixes to the generated interface identifiers.  The
   result is a set of addresses, called Hash Based Addresses (HBAs),
   that are inherently bound.
