I think that an individual draft is OK. 

 

That said, I believe that it should be known to the ipsec community

(e.g. be announced and preferably discussed, even a bit, in the ML).

Valery.

 

Thanks Valery. Makes sense.

Would that be a draft towards ratification in IPSECME or something like
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-tls-westerbaan-xyber768d00 which 
does not need to be ratified and can just serve as the
"Specification Required" for the TLS 1.3 IANA registry?

Hi Panos,

 

Hi draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-multiple-ke authors, ipsecme WG,

 

We have seen attempts to get early codepoints allocated for PQ-hybrid key 
exchanges in TLS 1.3 and HPKE in other IETF WGs. These, I
think, are are good steps. Note for these IANA registries the requirement is 
"Specification Required". 

 

How about new PQ Transform Type 4 identifiers in IKEv2? Currently the 
draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-multiple-ke draft says

     It is assumed that new Transform Type 4 identifiers will be assigned later 
for various post-quantum key exchanges [
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-multiple-ke-12> 
IKEV2TYPE4ID].

 

So, if draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-multiple-ke will not assign new identifiers for 
Kyber-768 in
<https://www.iana.org/assignments/ikev2-parameters/ikev2-parameters.xhtml#ikev2-parameters-8>
https://www.iana.org/assignments/ikev2-parameters/ikev2-parameters.xhtml#ikev2-parameters-8,
 should we be asking the Experts (Tero,
Valery) consider a new allocation?

 

          Yes, that's correct. 

          

          However, while it is possible to ask IANA for new allocation without 
any referencing document,

          as designated expert I would be much more comfortable if some 
document (even I-D) exists describing

          how to use Kyber-768 in specific environment of IKEv2. This may be a 
very short document referencing 

          generic Kyber specification and clarifying implementation details for 
IKEv2 (e.g. the format of the public key etc.).

 

          Regards,

          Valery.

 

Thx,

Panos
