Title : An Unauthenticated, or Leap-of-Faith-Authorization Mode
for Bump-In-The-Stack Implementations of IPsec Using
Internet Key Exchange Protocols
Author(s) : N. Williams
Filename : draft-williams-btns-unauthenticated-bits-00.txt
Pages : 9
Date : 2005-5-2
This document specifies how to use the Internet Key Exchange (IKE)
protocols, such as IKEv1 and IKEv2, to setup "unauthenticated"
security associations (SAs) using public keys as IKE identities and
unauthenticated public keys and/or certificates as IKE credentials.
This unauthenticated SA negotiation protocol works by having IKE
peers assert public keys as identities using a new IKE ID payload
type for the purpose. Unauthenticated IPsec is herein referred to by
its popular acronym, "BTNS" (Better Than Nothing Security).
This document focuses on BITS (bump in the stack) mode IPsec, leaving
specification of unauthenticated native IPsec to a separate document.
We assume an RFC2401bis processing model, specifically a PAD (peer
authorization database) separate from the SPD (security policy
database).

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.
