A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Generalizing the HIP base protocol
Author(s) : T. Henderson
Filename : draft-henderson-hip-generalize-00.txt
Pages : 19
Date : 2005-2-15
The Host Identity Protocol and architecture (HIP) proposes to add a
cryptographic name space for network stack names. This draft
observes that HIP can be viewed as an instance of a more general
migration towards decoupling identity from location in the Internet
architecture, and shows how other proposals (mobile IP, multi6,
mobike, and i3) fit into this framework. We argue that if the HIP
base protocol were to be slightly generalized, it might be useful to
other related efforts and might allow more experimental flexibility.
Specifically, an extensible identifier TLV, the ability to define
usage profiles for the HIP handshake, and a relaxation of the
requirements that specific HIP messages carry specific parameters are
the three changes suggested.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
