Abstract :
We analyze the security requirements of distance-vector routing protocols, identify their vulnerabilities, and propose countermeasures to these vulnerabilities. The innovation we propose involves the use of mechanisms from the path-finding class of distance-vector protocols as a solution to the security problems of distance-vector protocols. The result is a proposal that effectively and efficiently secures distance-vector protocols in constant space
