Tarek,
I could only guess on the answer to your first question, so I'll let someone
else answer. On your second question, "If area 0 is authenticated, do I
have to put authentication on the virtual link?", the answer is yes. For
example:
Router A (has area 0 and area 2)
Router B (has area 2 and area 3):
router ospf 64
network 192.168.1.2 0.0.0.0 area 2
network 172.48.3.2 0.0.0.0 area 3
area 2 virtual-link 192.168.1.1
area 0 authentication message-digest
interface serial 0
ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 KEY1
HTH, Kym
