  V. Roca, A. Francillon, S. Faurite, ``TESLA source authentication in the ALC and NORM protocols’’, IETF MSEC Working Group, draft-ietf-msec-tesla-for-alc-norm-06.txt (Work in Progress), October 2008. (ASCII) (HTML)

In brief: this document fully specifies the use of TESLA with ALC (and thus FLUTE/ALC) and NORM sessions to provide source authentication and packet integrity.

  V. Roca, ``Simple Authentication Schemes for the ALC and NORM Protocols’’, IETF RMT Working Group, draft-roca-rmt-simple-auth-for-alc-norm-01.txt (Work in Progress), November 2007. (ASCII) (HTML)

In brief: this document fully specifies the use of Group MAC and Digital Signature schemes with ALC (and thus FLUTE/ALC) and NORM sessions to provide source authentication and packet integrity. This is an alternative solution to TESLA.
