No. it is only between ospf neighbors. Loopback does not have any ospf
neighbor and hence no ospf authentication is needed on them.

Subject: ip ospf authentication

Hi ,
I need to do authentication for let's say area 5.
All routers in area 5 has each got a loopback address configure.

Loopback0 is up, line protocol is up
  Internet Address 100.10.1.1/24, Area 0
  Process ID 1, Router ID 100.10.1.1, Network Type POINT_TO_POINT, Cost: 1
  Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State POINT_TO_POINT,
  Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 40, Retransmit 5
    Hello due in 00:00:00
  Neighbor Count is 0, Adjacent neighbor count is 0
  Suppress hello for 0 neighbor(s)
  Message digest authentication enabled
      No key configured, using default key id 0

My question is since i have configure authentication for the entire area 5 ,
do i need to assigned a key ( password ) to all the loopback address in all
the routers ??

I do think so. But i hope for some opinion.
