Technical Summary
This document describes the use of the Edwards-curve digital
signature algorithm in the IKEv2 protocol as proposed standard.
Working Group Summary
Version -01 went through WGLC. Changes suggested by the WG
participants were mostly editorial. There were three substantive
decisions:
(1) That the new value in the hash function registry requested from
IANA for "Identity" shall not be zero.
(2) That we will not use the pre-hashed version of the EdDSA
function (same decision made by TLS and Curdle working groups)
(3) That we will use a null context (or context-free Ed25519) for
IKE (same decision reached in TLS and Curdle working groups)
The resulting document represents WG consensus.
The document was reviewed by several regular WG participants.
Apple reports a working implementation.
