Abstract:
The possibility of Quantum Computers pose a serious challenge to
cryptography algorithms deployed widely today. IKEv2 is one example
of a cryptosystem that could be broken; someone storing VPN
communications today could decrypt them at a later time when a
Quantum Computer is available. It is anticipated that IKEv2 will be
extended to support quantum secure key exchange algorithms; however
that is not likely to happen in the near term. To address this
problem before then, this document describes an extension of IKEv2 to
allow it to be resistant to a Quantum Computer, by using preshared
keys.
