Abstract:
The One-way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP) and Two-Way Active
Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) security mechanism require 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
Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2 (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 describes the
use of keys derived from an IKEv2 security association (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.
