The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Multiple Authentication Exchanges in IKEv2 ' <draft-eronen-ipsec-ikev2-multiple-auth-01.txt> as an Experimental RFC IKEv2 supports several mechanisms for authenticating the parties, including signatures with public-key certificates, shared secrets, and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) methods. Currently, each endpoint uses only one of these mechanisms to authenticate itself. This document specifies an extension to IKEv2 that allows the use of multiple authentication exchanges, either using different mechanisms or the same mechanism. The document has been stable for some time. It is also a 3GPP dependency for their "WLAN Interworking - Private Network access from WLAN 3GPP IP Access" work item. The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send any comments to the iesg@ietf.org or ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2006-07-24.
