We were encouraged by the ADs and a few others to rework the draft to focus more on generic uses of out-of-band generated key material, but we haven’t managed to put together the right set of hours to get it done. At least one person said, “It may be snake oil, but you’re entitled to interoperable snake oil,” with reference to the fact that we want a published document that has had input and review and improvements, but certainly recognize that the use case remains a specialized corner for the moment. But given the work being done to standardize other parts of QKD inside ETSI, it seems important to have matching IPsec hooks that will be common, and it’s especially important to me that IETF retain control to any changes to IPsec, rather than having another standards organization documenting changes to protocols developed here, which certainly seems a recipe for nightmarish politics and non-interoperable implementations.
Agreed. Those groups should really come out of the dark and discuss their proposals at the IETF. Paul _______________________________________________ IPsec mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipsec
