Technical Summary
This document defines extensions to the current sockets API for the
Host Identity Protocol (HIP). The extensions focus on the use of
public-key based identifiers discovered via DNS resolution, but
define also interfaces for manual bindings between HITs and
locators. With the extensions, the application can also support
more relaxed security models where the communication can be non-HIP
based, according to local policies. The extensions in this document
are experimental and provide basic tools for further
experimentation with policies.
