Re: Comments on draft-ietf-ipsec-ike-01.txt



There was a security flaw in RFC 2409. 

When SAi_b is used in HASH_I and HASH_R, an attack is possible so that 
at the end of Phase 1 negotiation, the SA being negotiated may not be
authenticated. (The problem also exists in the new draft.)

To avoid the attack, simply replace SAi_b with SAr_b. (The full paper
is available by request.)
