Abstract

The Internet Key Exchange Protocol version 2 (IKEv2) is a componentof the IPsec architecture and is used to perform mutualauthentication as well as to establish and to maintain IPsec SecurityAssociations (SAs) between the respective parties. IKEv2 supportsseveral different authentication mechanisms, such as the ExtensibleAuthentication Protocol (EAP), certificates, and Shared Key (SK).

Diameter interworking for Mobile IPv6 between the Home Agent (HA), asa Diameter client, and the Diameter server has been specified.However, that specification focused on the usage of EAP and did notinclude support for SK-based authentication available with IKEv2.This document specifies the IKEv2-server-to-Diameter-servercommunication when the IKEv2 peer authenticates using IKEv2 with SK.[STANDARDS-TRACK]
