Surprised MD5 is even mentioned here, it's so outdated!

OSPF authentication is not for encrypting data, just for securing routing.

I feel like MD5 encryption is outdated for this purpose, so it probably isn't the answer we're looking for.

OSPF authentication seems more about securing routing updates rather than encrypting data in flight, right?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember GRE tunnels being mentioned in a similar question about VPNs. Could they be relevant here?

I think MACSec might be the right choice since it specifically deals with securing data in transit.
