   Existing security mechanisms for the Protocol Independent Multicast -
   Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) routing protocol mandates to use IPsec to
   provide message authenticity and integrity.  This draft proposes an
   embedded authentication mechanism to facilitate data origin
   authentication and integrity verification for PIM packets in the
   cases where IPsec is not applied.
