[Ipsec] comment on "empty message" in IKEv2 draft



All,

 

The IKEv2 draft/RFC should emphasis that when send “empty” messages

in IKEv2, the actual messages should include an empty “encrypted payload”.

 

“Empty” messages is used for DPD (dead peer detection) and acknowledge

purposes. Without encrypted payload, the message is not authenticated,

which should considered as security problem.
