Host Identity Protocol Status of This Memo

This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. IESG Note The following issues describe IESG concerns about this document. The IESG expects that these issues will be addressed when future versions of HIP are designed. This document doesn’t currently define support for parameterized (randomized) hashing in signatures, support for negotiation of a key derivation function, or support for combined encryption modes. HIP defines the usage of RSA in signing and encrypting data. Current recommendations propose usage of, for example, RSA OAEP/PSS for these operations in new protocols. Changing the algorithms to more current best practice should be considered
