But the working group gave us a clear direction to use a separate exchange, and this is where we disagree: I believe we did have a strong WG consensus that the implementation benefits of having a separate exchange (i.e. not overloading even more the non-trivial IKE_SA_INIT exchange) outweigh the benefits of the alternative. > 2) Maybe I missed some discussions. > There is the case: responder may receives a ticket for an IKE SA that > is still active and if the responder accepts it. In one of previous > versions of this draft, there once was some description on this case. [YS] I believe you are referring to the text now in Sec. 4.3.4. > I know that how a client detects the need for resumption is out of the > scope of this draft.

In this > sense, IMHO, this draft should take care of this case. > [YS] If I understand the scenario correctly, it is similar to an attacker repeatedly sending notifications to an IKE client, making it believe that the IKE exchange has failed and needs to be reinitiated. This attack against plain-vanilla IKE would be much more CPU-intensive to the client and to the (real) gateway, compared to repeated session resumption. Even when you factor in the cost of generating a new ticket. Moreover, the regular IKEv2 anti-DOS cookie mechanism is supported by IKE_SESSION_RESUME as well. > BRG > Peny > > On Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 10:09 PM, The IESG<iesg-secretary@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > > The IESG has received a request from the IP Security Maintenance and > > Extensions WG (ipsecme) to consider the following document: > > > > - 'IKEv2 Session Resumption ' > > <draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-resumption-07.txt> as a Proposed Standard > > > > The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits > > final comments on this action.
