The IESG has received a request from the Host Identity Protocol WG (hip) to consider the following document: - 'HIP Diet EXchange (DEX)' <draft-ietf-hip-dex-06.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-02-26. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies the Host Identity Protocol Diet EXchange (HIP DEX), a variant of the Host Identity Protocol Version 2 (HIPv2). The HIP DEX protocol design aims at reducing the overhead of the employed cryptographic primitives by omitting public-key signatures and hash functions. In doing so, the main goal is to still deliver similar security properties to HIPv2. The HIP DEX protocol is primarily designed for computation or memory- constrained sensor/actuator devices. Like HIPv2, it is expected to be used together with a suitable security protocol such as the Encapsulated Security Payload (ESP) for the protection of upper layer protocol data. In addition, HIP DEX can also be used as a keying mechanism for security primitives at the MAC layer, e.g., for IEEE 802.15.4 networks. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-hip-dex/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-hip-dex/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references.
