A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Host Identity Protocol Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Host Identity Protocol
Author(s) : R. Moskowitz, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-hip-base-04.txt
Pages : 99
Date : 2005-10-26
This memo specifies the details of the Host Identity Protocol (HIP).
HIP allows consenting hosts to securely establish and maintain shared
IP-layer state, allowing separation of the identifier and locator
roles of IP addresses, thereby enabling continuity of communications
across IP address changes. HIP is based on a Sigma-compliant Diffie-
Hellman key exchange, using public-key identifiers from a new Host
Identity name space for mutual peer authentication. The protocol is
designed to be resistant to Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Man-in-the-
middle (MitM) attacks, and when used together with another suitable
security protocol, such as Encapsulated Security Payload (ESP), it
provides integrity protection and optional encryption for upper layer
protocols, suchs as TCP and UDP. Discussion related to this document
is going on at the IETF HIP Working Group mailing list.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-hip-base-04.txt".
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.
