Generic Raw Public-Key Support for IKEv2

Overview

RFC 7670, “Generic Raw Public-Key Support for IKEv2”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2016 by T. Kivinen, P. Wouters, H. Tschofenig. It updates RFC 7296. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The Internet Key Exchange Version 2 (IKEv2) protocol did have support for raw public keys, but it only supported RSA raw public keys. In constrained environments, it is useful to make use of other types of public keys, such as those based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography. This document updates RFC 7296, adding support for other types of raw public keys to IKEv2.

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.
