Title : IKEv2-based Shared Secret Key for O/TWAMP Authors : Kostas Pentikousis Yang Cui Emma Zhang Filename : draft-ietf-ippm-ipsec-04.txt Pages : 12 Date : 2014-07-22 Abstract: The O/TWAMP security mechanism requires that both the client and server endpoints possess a shared secret. Since the currently- standardized O/TWAMP security mechanism only supports a pre-shared key mode, large scale deployment of O/TWAMP is hindered significantly. At the same time, recent trends point to wider IKEv2 deployment which, in turn, calls for mechanisms and methods that enable tunnel end-users, as well as operators, to measure one-way and two-way network performance in a standardized manner. This document discusses the use of keys derived from an IKEv2 SA as the shared key in O/TWAMP. If the shared key can be derived from the IKEv2 SA, O/ TWAMP can support certificate-based key exchange, which would allow for more operational flexibility and efficiency. The key derivation presented in this document can also facilitate automatic key management.
