Securing Block Storage Protocols over IP: RFC 3723 Requirements Update for IPsec v3
RFC 7146, “Securing Block Storage Protocols over IP: RFC 3723 Requirements Update for IPsec v3”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2014 by D. Black, P. Koning. It updates RFC 3720, RFC 3723, RFC 3821, RFC 3822, RFC 4018, RFC 4172, RFC 4173, RFC 4174, RFC 5040, RFC 5041, RFC 5042, RFC 5043, RFC 5044, RFC 5045, RFC 5046, RFC 5047, RFC 5048. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
RFC 3723 specifies IPsec requirements for block storage protocols over IP (e.g., Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI)) based on IPsec v2 (RFC 2401 and related RFCs); those requirements have subsequently been applied to remote direct data placement protocols, e.g., the Remote Direct Memory Access Protocol (RDMAP). This document updates RFC 3723's IPsec requirements to IPsec v3 (RFC 4301 and related RFCs) and makes some changes to required algorithms based on developments in cryptography since RFC 3723 was published.
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.
