RFC 7427
Title: Signature Authentication in the Internet
Key Exchange Version 2 (IKEv2)
Author: T. Kivinen, J. Snyder
Status: Standards Track
Stream: IETF
Date: January 2015
Mailbox: kivi...@iki.fi,

Pages: 18
Characters: 39041
Updates: RFC 7296
I-D Tag: draft-kivinen-ipsecme-signature-auth-07.txt

The Internet Key Exchange Version 2 (IKEv2) protocol has limited
support for the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA).
The current version only includes support for three Elliptic Curve
groups, and there is a fixed hash algorithm tied to each group. This
document generalizes IKEv2 signature support to allow any signature
method supported by PKIX and also adds signature hash algorithm
negotiation. This is a generic mechanism and is not limited to
ECDSA; it can also be used with other signature algorithms.
This document is a product of the IP Security Maintenance and Extensions
Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
