Additional Diffie-Hellman Tests for the Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2
RFC 6989, “Additional Diffie-Hellman Tests for the Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2013 by Y. Sheffer, S. Fluhrer. It updates RFC 5996. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document adds a small number of mandatory tests required for the secure operation of the Internet Key Exchange Protocol version 2 (IKEv2) with elliptic curve groups. No change is required to IKE implementations that use modular exponential groups, other than a few rarely used so-called Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) groups. This document updates the IKEv2 protocol, RFC 5996.
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.
