RE: Question about ID types in IPSEC DOI



Title: RE: Question about ID types in IPSEC DOI

Why wouldn't you be able to use ID_KEY_ID in phase 1? 

It is just an identity 'blob' that can have any format, so instead of using an email address with a specific format as an identifier (user@site) you could also use a non-formated identifier like "Bob's Laptop" if you use ID_KEY_ID.
