Hi Eric,

 

I think we are saying the same thing. Making the SCHC integration will be nice 
but does not get you to solve anything for constrained IoT device 
implementations.

 

Ciao

Let me reply to Hannes’ statement: “Integrating the functionality into SCHC 
alone is not enough.”

 

I consider SCHC as a technical mean and not an end. I.e., it is not about 
adding IPsec to SCHC but rather about using SCHC to compress IPsec (= ESP & 
IKE). The SCHC WG did a similar work with COAP.

 

Regards

Hi Daniel, Hi all,

 

don't get me wrong: I am trying to be helpful. 

 

Integrating the functionality into SCHC alone is not enough. You need to 
integrate it into an implementation of IKEv2/IPsec that is suitable to the 
mentioned constrained IoT use cases. I have not seen IPsec/IKEv2 being used in 
constrained environments so far nor have I seen a "lightweight" implementation 
for microcontrollers.

 

I have, however, heard about uses of WireGuard on Linux-based IoT devices 
(these are non-constrained devices, obviously) with the argument that it is 
simple to use and efficient.

 

I believe it is worthwhile to think about the motivation of using WireGuard 
instead of IPsec/IKEv2 instead of spending a lot of time on yet another tiny 
optimization.

 

Hence, I would aim for a more ambitious goal: Make IPsec/IKEv2 work well on 
Linux-based IoT devices (*)

 

Ciao

Hannes

 

*: Forget the constrained IoT device use case - there are better solutions 
available that don't require IPsec/IKEv2

Hi Hannes, 

 

One draft is esp, the other is ikev2, I tend to think it would be better to 
have two separate documents.

 

Validation of specification SCHC will be supported by implementations and I am 
aware of two ongoing implementations based on openschc. I am also aware of 2 
implementations that do not rely on SCHC. One implementation on contiki and one 
in python (not public).

https://bitbucket.org/sylvain_www/diet-esp-contiki/src/master/

 

We are working on an implementation. What is not completely clear to me now is 
how we will be able to have/make public implementations for linux 
implementation and potentially *Swan projects. It is a bit too early for now, 
but I am hoping to have a path in the next coming months.  

 

As far as I know ROHC is still used, but I do not know how ROHC is specifically 
used for IPsec traffic.

 

Yours, 

Daniel

Shouldn't the two drafts be merged?


Who of the authors is going to implement the specs?


Ciao

@Carsten: I have not been following the ROHC work after standardization
was completed. Was it actually used? Is it still used?
