Re: IPSEC Security Gateways & NAT



Derek, I have not seen Radia's paper so I can't comment on it.
However, what you say here:

is indeed a good explanation of the rationale for the change to pre-shared
mode I suggested in a previous message. 
This is why I changed SKEYID_e to depend on g^xy only but left the
HASH_I/R computations to depend on the preshared key (SKEYID)
