IKE extensions to support dynamic policies



Folks,

Jan Vilhuber and I have a draft out on IKE extensions to support 
dynamic policy negotiation. The draft ID is  
<draft-srisuresh-ike-policy-extensions-00.txt>. Below is an abstract
of the draft. WOuld appreciate hearing your comments on the draft. 
Thanks.

   As IPsec is widely deployed, there is increasing need to negotiate
   security keys using IKE at application level granularity. 
   IKE, as currently proposed, has restrictions in negotiating keys
   for applications with bundled sessions and complex policies. 
   The draft identifies the problem with IKE and suggests extensions 
   to make IKE application and policy friendly. The proposed solution
   suggests extensions to the conceptual operation of IPsec as well as
   IKE, but does not require changes to existing IKE payloads. The 
   document introduces a new policy payload that complements existing
   IKE payloads and suggests replacing ID payload with the Policy
   payload, in Quick mode.

cheers,
suresh
