A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6738 Title: Diameter IKEv2 SK: Using Shared Keys to Support Interaction between IKEv2 Servers and Diameter Servers Author: V. Cakulev, A. Lior, S. Mizikovsky Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: October 2012 Mailbox: violeta.cakulev@alcatel-lucent.com, avi.ietf@lior.org, Simon.Mizikovsky@alcatel-lucent.com Pages: 17 Characters: 35536 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-dime-ikev2-psk-diameter-11.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6738.txt The Internet Key Exchange Protocol version 2 (IKEv2) is a component of the IPsec architecture and is used to perform mutual authentication as well as to establish and to maintain IPsec Security Associations (SAs) between the respective parties. IKEv2 supports several different authentication mechanisms, such as the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), certificates, and Shared Key (SK). Diameter interworking for Mobile IPv6 between the Home Agent (HA), as a Diameter client, and the Diameter server has been specified. However, that specification focused on the usage of EAP and did not include support for SK-based authentication available with IKEv2. This document specifies the IKEv2-server-to-Diameter-server communication when the IKEv2 peer authenticates using IKEv2 with SK. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document is a product of the Diameter Maintenance and Extensions Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
