Algorithms for Internet Key Exchange version 1

Overview

RFC 4109, “Algorithms for Internet Key Exchange version 1”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2005 by P. Hoffman. It updates RFC 2409. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The required and suggested algorithms in the original Internet Key Exchange version 1 (IKEv1) specification do not reflect the current reality of the IPsec market requirements. The original specification allows weak security and suggests algorithms that are thinly implemented. This document updates RFC 2409, the original specification, and is intended for all IKEv1 implementations deployed today. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

Abstract as published in the RFC, via rfc-editor.org.

What “Proposed Standard” means

An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
