DoCoMo's Open Source SEND project provides an implementation of RFC3971 Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND). SEND cryptographically secures the IPv6 neighbor discovery protocol, countering the threats discussed in RFC3756 (IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (ND) Trust Models and Threats).

DoCoMo's SEND is implemented completely in user space, so it is portable and lends itself to experimentation. It currently runs on Linux (tested on 2.6 kernels) and FreeBSD (tested on 5.4).

Also included in the distribution are implementations of RFC3972 Cryptographically Generated Addresses (CGAs) and RFC3779 X.509 Extensions for IP Addresses and AS Identifiers.

We welcome the interaction, development, and dialogue with other research engineers, developers, and scientiststs regarding this project.
