The IESG has received a request from the IP Security Maintenance and Extensions WG (ipsecme) to consider the following document: - 'The NULL Authentication Method in IKEv2 Protocol' <draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-null-auth-06.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2015-05-04. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies the NULL Authentication method and the ID_NULL Identification Payload ID Type for the IKEv2 Protocol. This allows two IKE peers to establish single-side authenticated or mutual unauthenticated IKE sessions for those use cases where a peer is unwilling or unable to authenticate or identify itself. This ensures IKEv2 can be used for Opportunistic Security (also known as Opportunistic Encryption) to defend against Pervasive Monitoring attacks without the need to sacrifice anonymity. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-null-auth/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-null-auth/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IPsec mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipsec
