The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Post-quantum Key Exchange with ML-KEM in the Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2 (IKEv2)' (draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-mlkem-09.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the IP Security Maintenance and Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Christopher Inacio and Deb Cooley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-mlkem/ Technical Summary NIST standardized ML-KEM, a new key encapsulation mechanism, which can be used for quantum-resistant key establishment. This draft specifies how to use ML-KEM by itself or as an additional key exchange in IKEv2 along with a traditional key exchange. These options allow for negotiating IKE and Child SA keys which are safe against cryptographically relevant quantum computers. Working Group Summary There was general agreement on this draft. Document Quality The draft mentioned in the Shepherd's writeup (draft-ietf-ipsecme-downgrade-prevention) has also been submitted to the IESG. There is no Yang, no mediatypes, no MIB or anything else that requires validation. There was a (late) third party IPR disclosure made, it is on the datatracker page for this draft. There exist at least four implementations (Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Strongswan, and Apple). Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Scott Fluhrer. The Responsible Area Director is Deb Cooley. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
