Here are the reasons:
- there is no "standard" key distribution mechanism for symmetric keys (I guess I
can get on the phone with another guy and negotiate key values)
- there is no "standard" mechanism for negotiation key lifetimes (should I also
use the phone?)
- how to re-key? - (get on the phone again?)
- what is the encapsulation context - tunnel/transport? (my phone bill is getting
higher?)
etc, etc, etc.
