Hi Valery,

Thanks for posting this draft.

One quick comment: the interaction of your proposal with EAP is not clear to me, i.e. when one peer uses Null auth and the other uses EAP. There are cases where this should be forbidden (e.g. MSCHAP, where the unauthenticated peer can mount a dictionary attack) and other cases where this is OK. Specifically, for the methods listed as "safe" in Sec. 4 of RFC 5998, I believe this use would be secure.

Happy holidays!

Hi all,

I've just posted a draft, defining NULL Authentication method in IKEv2.
This method may be used for anonymous access or in situations,
when peers don't have any trust relationship, but still want
to get protection at least against passive attacks.

Regards,
Valery.

Abstract:
   This document defines the NULL Authentication Method for IKEv2
   Protocol.  This method provides a way to omit peer authentication in
   IKEv2 and to explicitely indicate it in the protocol run.  This
   method may be used to preserve anonymity or in situations, where no
   trust relationship exists between the parties.




Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of
