Abstract
This document seeks to document all usage of IPv4 addresses in
currently deployed IETF Security Area documented standards. In order
to successfully transition from an all IPv4 Internet to an all IPv6
Internet, many interim steps will be taken. One of these steps is
the evolution of current protocols that have IPv4 dependencies. It
is hoped that these protocols (and their implementations) will be
redesigned to be network address independent, but failing that will
at least dually support IPv4 and IPv6. To this end, all Standards
(Full, Draft, and Proposed) as well as Experimental RFCs will be
surveyed and any dependencies will be documented.

1.0. Introduction
This document is part of a document set aiming to document all usage
of IPv4 addresses in IETF standards. In an effort to have the
information in a manageable form, it has been broken into 7 documents
conforming to the current IETF areas (Application, Internet,
Operations and Management, Routing, Security, Sub-IP, and Transport).
For a full introduction, please see the introduction [1].
2.0. Document Organization
Sections 3, 4, 5, and 6 each describe the raw analysis of Full,
Draft, and Proposed Standards, and Experimental RFCs. Each RFC is
discussed in its turn starting with RFC 1 and ending with (around)
RFC 3100. The comments for each RFC are "raw" in nature. That is,
each RFC is discussed in a vacuum and problems or issues discussed do
not "look ahead" to see if the problems have already been fixed.
Section 7 is an analysis of the data presented in Sections 3, 4, 5,
and 6. It is here that all of the results are considered as a whole
and the problems that have been resolved in later RFCs are
correlated.
3.0. Full Standards
Full Internet Standards (most commonly simply referred to as
"Standards") are fully mature protocol specification that are widely
implemented and used throughout the Internet.
3.1. RFC 2289 A One-Time Password System
There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.
4.0. Draft Standards
Draft Standards represent the penultimate standard level in the IETF.
A protocol can only achieve draft standard when there are multiple,
independent, interoperable implementations. Draft Standards are
usually quite mature and widely used.
4.1. RFC 1864 The Content-MD5 Header Field
There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.
4.2. RFC 2617 HTTP Authentication: Basic and Digest Access
Authentication
Section 3.2.1 The WWW-Authenticate Response Header include he
following text:
(Note: including the IP address of the client in the nonce
would appear to offer the server the ability to limit the reuse
of the nonce to the same client that originally got it.
However, that would break proxy farms, where requests from a
single user often go through different proxies in the farm.
Also, IP address spoofing is not that hard.)
Section 4.5 Replay Attacks contains the text:
Thus, for some purposes, it is necessary to protect against
replay attacks. A good Digest implementation can do this in
various ways. The server created "nonce" value is
implementation dependent, but if it contains a digest of the
client IP, a time-stamp, the resource ETag, and a private
server key (as recommended above) then a replay attack is not
simple. An attacker must convince the server that the request
is coming from a false IP address and must cause the server to
deliver the document to an IP address different from the
address to which it believes it is sending the document. An
attack can only succeed in the period before the time-stamp
expires. Digesting the client IP and time-stamp in the nonce
permits an implementation which does not maintain state between
transactions.
Both of these statements are IP version independent and must rely on
the implementers discretion.
4.3. RFC 2865 Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS)
Section 3. Packet Format has the following notes:
Identifier
The Identifier field is one octet, and aids in matching
requests and replies. The RADIUS server can detect a duplicate
request if it has the same client source IP address and source
UDP port and Identifier within a short span of time.
and
A RADIUS server MUST use the source IP address of the RADIUS
UDP packet to decide which shared secret to use, so that RADIUS
requests can be proxied.
This text is version neutral but implementers should allow for the
use of both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Section 5. Attributes defines a number of IP specific attributes:
4 NAS-IP-Address
8 Framed-IP-Address
9 Framed-IP-Netmask
10 Framed-Routing
14 Login-IP-Host
22 Framed-Route
and definitions for the "value" field of the following type:
address 32 bit value, most significant octet first.
The attributes are further defined as follows:
5.4. NAS-IP-Address
Description
This Attribute indicates the identifying IP Address of the
NAS which is requesting authentication of the user, and
SHOULD be unique to the NAS within the scope of the RADIUS
server. NAS-IP-Address is only used in Access-Request
packets. Either NAS-IP-Address or NAS-Identifier MUST be
present in an Access-Request packet.
Note that NAS-IP-Address MUST NOT be used to select the
shared secret used to authenticate the request. The source
IP address of the Access-Request packet MUST be used to
select the shared secret.
A summary of the NAS-IP-Address Attribute format is shown
below. The fields are transmitted from left to right.

Address
The Address field is four octets.
5.8. Framed-IP-Address
Description
This Attribute indicates the address to be configured for the
user. It MAY be used in Access-Accept packets. It MAY be used
in an Access-Request packet as a hint by the NAS to the server
that it would prefer that address, but the server is not
required to honor the hint.

Address
The Address field is four octets. The value 0xFFFFFFFF indicates
that the NAS Should allow the user to select an address (e.g.,
Negotiated). The value 0xFFFFFFFE indicates that the NAS should
select an address for the user (e.g., Assigned from a pool of
addresses kept by the NAS). Other valid values indicate that the
NAS should use that value as the user's IP address.
5.9. Framed-IP-Netmask
Description
This Attribute indicates the IP netmask to be configured for
the user when the user is a router to a network. It MAY be
used in Access-Accept packets. It MAY be used in an Access-
Request packet as a hint by the NAS to the server that it would
prefer that netmask, but the server is not required to honor
the hint.
A summary of the Framed-IP-Netmask Attribute format is shown below.
The fields are transmitted from left to right.

Address
The Address field is four octets specifying the IP netmask of the
user.
5.14. Login-IP-Host
Description
"This Attribute indicates the system with which to connect the
user, when the Login-Service Attribute is included. It MAY be
used in Access-Accept packets. It MAY be used in an Access-
Request packet as a hint to the server that the NAS would
prefer to use that host, but the server is not required to
honor the hint."

Address
The Address field is four octets. The value 0xFFFFFFFF indicates
that the NAS SHOULD allow the user to select an address. The
value 0 indicates that the NAS SHOULD select a host to connect the
user to. Other values indicate the address the NAS SHOULD connect
the user to.
5.22. Framed-Route
Description
This Attribute provides routing information to be configured
for the user on the NAS. It is used in the Access-Accept
packet and can appear multiple times.
A summary of the Framed-Route Attribute format is shown below. The
fields are transmitted from left to right.

Text
The Text field is one or more octets, and its contents are
implementation dependent. It is intended to be human readable and
MUST NOT affect operation of the protocol. It is recommended that
the message contain UTF-8 encoded 10646 [7] characters.
For IP routes, it SHOULD contain a destination prefix in dotted
quad form optionally followed by a slash and a decimal length
specifier stating how many high order bits of the prefix to use.
That is followed by a space, a gateway address in dotted quad
form, a space, and one or more metrics separated by spaces. For
example, "192.168.1.0/24 192.168.1.1 1 2 -1 3 400". The length
specifier may be omitted, in which case it defaults to 8 bits for
class A prefixes, 16 bits for class B prefixes, and 24 bits for
class C prefixes. For example, "192.168.1.0 192.168.1.1 1".
Whenever the gateway address is specified as "0.0.0.0" the IP
address of the user SHOULD be used as the gateway address.
There are also several example authentication sequences that use the
attributes discussed above and hence have IPv4 addresses.
Although the definitions in this RFC are limited to IPv4 addresses,
the specification is easily extensible for new attribute types. It
is therefore relatively simple to create new IPv6 specific
attributes.
5.0. Proposed Standards
Proposed Standards are introductory level documents. There are no
requirements for even a single implementation. In many cases
Proposed are never implemented or advanced in the IETF standards
process. They therefore are often just proposed ideas that are
presented to the Internet community. Sometimes flaws are exposed or
they are one of many competing solutions to problems. In these later
cases, no discussion is presented as it would not serve the purpose
of this discussion.

records.
5.050. RFC 2536 DSA KEYs and SIGs in the Domain Name System (DNS)
There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.
5.051. RFC 2538 Storing Certificates in the Domain Name System
(DNS)
Section 3.1 X.509 CERT RR Names
Some X.509 versions permit multiple names to be associated with
subjects and issuers under "Subject Alternate Name" and "Issuer
Alternate Name". For example, x.509v3 has such Alternate Names
with an ASN.1 specification as follows:
GeneralName ::= CHOICE {
otherName [0] INSTANCE OF OTHER-NAME,
rfc822Name [1] IA5String,
dNSName [2] IA5String,
x400Address [3] EXPLICIT OR-ADDRESS.&Type,
directoryName [4] EXPLICIT Name,
ediPartyName [5] EDIPartyName,
uniformResourceIdentifier [6] IA5String,
iPAddress [7] OCTET STRING,
registeredID [8] OBJECT IDENTIFIER
}
uses a potential IPv4 only address. It goes on with the following
example:
Example 2: Assume that an X.509v3 certificate is issued to
/CN=James Hacker/L=Basingstoke/O=Widget Inc/C=GB/ with Subject
Alternate names of (a) domain name widget.foo.example,
(b) IPv4 address 10.251.13.201, and (c) string "James Hacker
<hacker@mail.widget.foo.example>". Then the storage locations
recommended, in priority order, would be
(1) widget.foo.example,
(2) 201.13.251.10.in-addr.arpa, and
(3) hacker.mail.widget.foo.example.
Since the definition of X.509v3 certificates is not discussed in this
document it is unclear if IPv6 addresses are also supported in the
above mentioned field. The document does however refer to RFC 2459
for the definition of a certificate, and RFC 2459 is IPv6 and IPv4
aware -- so it seems this specification is IPv4 and IPv6 aware.

6.0. Experimental RFCs
Experimental RFCs typically define protocols that do not have
widescale implementation or usage on the Internet. They are often
propriety in nature or used in limited arenas. They are documented
to the Internet community in order to allow potential
interoperability or some other potential useful scenario. In a few
cases they are presented as alternatives to the mainstream solution
to an acknowledged problem.
6.01. RFC 1004 Distributed-protocol authentication scheme
There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.
6.02. RFC 1411 Telnet Authentication: Kerberos Version 4

There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.
6.08. RFC 2094 Group Key Management Protocol (GKMP) Architecture
There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.
6.09. RFC 2154 OSPF with Digital Signatures
This OSPF option is IPv4 limited. See the following packet
format:
7.2. Router Public Key Certificate
A router public key certificate is a package of data signed by
a Trusted Entity. This certificate is included in the router
PKLSA and in the router configuration information. To change
any of the values in the certificate, a new certificate must be
obtained from a TE.

#NET RANGES The number of network ranges that follow. A
network range is defined to be an IP Address
and an Address Mask. This list of ranges
defines the addresses that the Router is
permitted to advertise in its Router Links LSA.
Valid values are 0-255. If there are 0 ranges
the router cannot advertise anything. This is
not generally useful. One range with address=0
and mask=0 will allow a router to advertise any
address.
IP ADDRESS & ADDRESS MASK Define a range of addresses that this
router may advertise. Each is a 32 bit value.
One range with address=0 and mask=0 will allow
a router to advertise any address.
6.10. RFC 2522 Photuris: Session-Key Management Protocol

There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.
6.17. RFC 2773 Encryption using KEA and SKIPJACK
This specification is both IPv4 and IPv6 aware and needs no
changes.
6.18. RFC 3029 Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Data
Validation and Certification Server Protocols
There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.
7.0. Summary of Results
In the initial survey of RFCs 4 positives were identified out of a
total of 124, broken down as follows:
Standards: 0 out of 1 or 0.00%
Draft Standards: 1 out of 3 or 33.33%
Proposed Standards: 1 out of 102 or 0.98%
Experimental RFCs: 2 out of 18 or 11.11%
Of those identified many require no action because they document
outdated and unused protocols, while others are document protocols
that are actively being updated by the appropriate working groups.
Additionally there are many instances of standards that should be
updated but do not cause any operational impact if they are not
updated. The remaining instances are documented below.
7.1. Standards
7.2. Draft Standards
7.2.1. RADIUS (RFC 2865)
The problems have been resolved in RFC 3162, RADIUS and IPv6.
7.3. Proposed Standards
7.3.1. RIPv2 MD5 Authentication (RFC 2082)
This functionality has been assumed by the use of the IPsec AH
header as defined in RFC 2402, IP Authentication Header.
7.3.2. Mobile IPv4 Challenge Response Extension (RFC 3012)
The problems are not being addressed and similar functions may be
needed in Mobile IPv6.
7.3.3. Authentication for DHCP Messages (RFC 3118)
This problem has been fixed in RFC 3315, Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6).
7.4. Experimental RFCs
7.4.1. Scalable Multicast Key Distribution (RFC 1949)
This specification relies on IPv4 IGMP Multicast and a new
specification may be produced; however, the SMKD is not believed
to be in use.
7.4.2. OPSF with Digital Signatures (RFC 2154)
This specification is IPv4-only, and relies on an IPv4-only
routing protocol, OSPFv2. Due to increased focus on routing
security, this specification may need to be revisited, and in that
case it should support both OSPFv2 and OPSFv3.
8.0. Security Considerations
This memo examines the IPv6-readiness of specifications; this does
not have security considerations in itself.
