security policy discovery
Hello,
I've a question about IPsec and I'm not sure IPSP
is the answer, therefore I'm asking it in this list.
I assume Alice and Bob don't know each other, so
they have no security association. Alice doesn't care
about security, but Bob cares..
Alice sends a packet to Bob for the first time. It is not
an IKE, JKF packet. It is the actual packet of a session
(e.g. TCP SYN).
Bob doesn't want to communicate unless a security
association is established.
What happens in this case? Bob replies with IKE/JFK?
Or Alice detects Bob's security policy before attempting
to communicate?
Thank you in advance. And sorry if it is a too basic question
or this is not really in the scope of this WG...
Regards,
pars
