The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Generic Raw Public Key Support for IKEv2' (draft-kivinen-ipsecme-oob-pubkey-14.txt) as Proposed Standard This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Kathleen Moriarty. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kivinen-ipsecme-oob-pubkey/ Technical Summary The document extends IKEv2 with generic support for multiple formats of raw public keys. This is expected to be used in IOT settings and/or setups using DANE. Raw RSA keys were removed from IKEv2 in its latest iteration (RFC 7296) in anticipation of this document. Working Group Summary There was not enough IPsecME WG energy behind the draft, so it never became a WG document. But the chairs do support its publication as an AD-sponsored Standards Track RFC so as not to lose an existing IKEv2 feature (http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipsec/current/msg08358.html). The document updates RFC 7296. Document Quality This is a small extension to the protocol and it was written by experienced IPsec implementors; moreover, it re-enacts and extends functionality that's been there for a while. It has had several reviews by experienced IPsecMe WG participants. idnits should a reference to an obsoleted RFC, this is correct as that is the appropriate reference. -- Obsolete informational reference (is this intentional?): RFC 5996 (Obsoleted by RFC 7296) Personnel The document shepherd is Yaron Sheffer. The responsible Area Director is Kathleen Moriarty.
