What HIP gives you is an identifier that may be used for many things. An HI can be, but does not have to be, part of the process of initially finding a locator for an endpoint. For example, I can go straight from domain name to locator (which actually might be an agent / proxy / rendezvous point), and then validate identities via some other means. _______________________________________________ rrg mailing list [email protected] https://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/rrg
