Using GOST Cryptographic Algorithms in the Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2

Overview

RFC 9385, “Using GOST Cryptographic Algorithms in the Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2”, is an Informational document published in May 2023 by V. Smyslov. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document defines a set of cryptographic transforms for use in the Internet Key Exchange Protocol version 2 (IKEv2). The transforms are based on Russian cryptographic standard algorithms (called "GOST" algorithms). Use of GOST ciphers in IKEv2 is defined in RFC 9227. This document aims to define the use of GOST algorithms for the rest of the cryptographic transforms used in IKEv2.

This specification was developed to facilitate implementations that wish to support the GOST algorithms. This document does not imply IETF endorsement of the cryptographic algorithms used in this document.
