Abstract

This document specifies the NULL Authentication method and theID_NULL Identification Payload ID Type for Internet Key ExchangeProtocol version 2 (IKEv2). This allows two IKE peers to establishsingle-side authenticated or mutual unauthenticated IKE sessions forthose use cases where a peer is unwilling or unable to authenticateor identify itself. This ensures IKEv2 can be used for OpportunisticSecurity (also known as Opportunistic Encryption) to defend againstPervasive Monitoring attacks without the need to sacrifice anonymity.
