Host Identity Protocol (hip) ---------------------------- Charter Last Modified: 2010-09-20 Current Status: Active Working Group Chair(s): David Ward Gonzalo Camarillo Internet Area Director(s): Ralph Droms Jari Arkko Internet Area Advisor: Ralph Droms Mailing Lists: General Discussion:hipsec@ietf.org To Subscribe: http://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/hipsec Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/hipsec/current/maillist.html Description of Working Group: The Host Identity Protocol (HIP) provides a method of separating the end-point identifier and locator roles of IP addresses. It introduces a new Host Identity (HI) name space, based on public keys, from which end-point identifiers are taken. The public keys are typically, but not necessarily, self generated. HIP uses existing IP addressing and forwarding for locators and packet delivery. The architecture and protocol details for these mechanisms are currently specified in the following Experimental RFCs: o HIP Architecture (RFC 4423) o Host Identity Protocol (RFC 5201) There are several publicly known interoperating implementations, some of which are open source. The HIP WG was chartered to publish protocol specifications in documents whose quality and security properties would meet the requirements for publication as standards track documents. These specifications have been published as Experimental RFCs, because the effects of the protocol on applications and on the Internet as a whole were unknown. The Experimental RFCs produced by the HIP WG allowed the community to experiment with HIP technologies and learn from these experiments. The HIP WG will now produce standards track versions of the main HIP RFCs taking as a base the existing Experimental RFCs. The WG will also specify certificate handling in HIP in a standards track RFC. Additionally, the WG will finish the WG items it was working on before starting the standards track work. These WG items relate to how to build HIP-based overlays and will result in Experimental RFCs. The following are charter items for the working group: o Revise RFCs 4423, 4843, 5201, 5202, 5203, 5204, 5205, 5206, and 5770 as standards track RFCs. o Specify in a standards track RFC how to carry certificates in the base exchange. This was removed from the base HIP spec so that the mechanism is specified in a stand-alone spec. o Specify in an Experimental RFC how to build a HIP-based overlay using RELOAD. o Specify in an Experimental RFC how to transport HIP messages over encrypted connections that were established using HIP. Goals and Milestones: Done Submit Native API specification to the IESG Done Submit Framework for HIP overlays specification to the IESG Done Submit Multi-hop routing mechanism for HIP Done Submit Upper-layer data transport in HIP to the IESG Sep 2010 WGLC RFC4423bis Sep 2010 WGLC Certs in HIP base exchange specification Sep 2010 WGLC RFC4843bis Sep 2010 WGLC RFC5201bis Sep 2010 WGLC RFC5202bis Oct 2010 Submit RFC5201bis to the IESG Oct 2010 Submit RFC4843bis to the IESG Oct 2010 Submit RFC4423bis to the IESG Oct 2010 Submit RFC5202bis to the IESG Dec 2010 WGLC RFC5203bis Dec 2010 WGLC RFC5204bis Dec 2010 WGLC RFC5205bis Dec 2010 WGLC the mobility portion of RFC5206bis Jan 2011 WGLC the HIP over HIP specification Jan 2011 WGLC the specification on how to build HIP-based overlays using RELOAD Jan 2011 Submit RFC5203bis to the IESG Jan 2011 Submit RFC5204bis to the IESG Jan 2011 Submit RFC5205bis to the IESG Jan 2011 Submit the mobility portion of RFC5206bis to the IESG Feb 2011 Submit the HIP over HIP specification to the IESG Feb 2011 Submit the specification on how to build HIP-based overlays using RELOAD to the IESG Feb 2011 WGLC RFC5770bis Feb 2011 WGLC the multihoming portion of RFC5206bis Mar 2011 Submit RFC5770bis to the IESG Mar 2011 Submit the multihoming portion of RFC5206bis to the IESG Apr 2011 Recharter or close the WG Internet-Drafts: Posted Revised I-D Title ------ ------- -------------------------------------------- Aug 2010 Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Registration Extension Nov 2006 Jan 2010 Basic Socket Interface Extensions for Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Oct 2008 Jan 2011 Host Identity Protocol Certificates Oct 2008 Jun 2010 HIP BONE: Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Based Overlay Networking Environment Oct 2009 Jul 2010 HIP (Host Identity Protocol) Immediate Carriage and Conveyance of Upper- layer Protocol Signaling (HICCUPS) Jan 2010 Jan 2011 Host Identity Protocol-Based Overlay Networking Environment (HIP BONE) Instance Specification for REsource LOcation And Discovery (RELOAD) Apr 2010 Jan 2011 Host Identity Protocol Signaling Message Transport Modes Aug 2010 Aug 2010 Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Domain Name System (DNS) Extension Aug 2010 Aug 2010 Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Rendezvous Extension Aug 2010 Aug 2010 An IPv6 Prefix for Overlay Routable Cryptographic Hash Identifiers (ORCHID) Aug 2010 Aug 2010 Host Identity Protocol Architecture Aug 2010 Jan 2011 Host Identity Protocol Aug 2010 Oct 2010 Host Mobility with the Host Identity Protocol Sep 2010 Sep 2010 Native NAT Traversal Mode for the Host Identity Protocol Sep 2010 Sep 2010 Using the Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) Transport Format with the Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Oct 2010 Oct 2010 Host Multihoming with the Host Identity Protocol Request For Comments: RFC Stat Published Title ------- -- ----------- ------------------------------------ RFC4423 I May 2006 Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Architecture RFC5206 E Apr 2008 End-Host Mobility and Multihoming with the Host Identity Protocol RFC5204 E Apr 2008 Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Rendezvous Extension RFC5202 E Apr 2008 Using the Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) Transport Format with the Host Identity Protocol (HIP) RFC5203 E Apr 2008 Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Registration Extension RFC5205 E Apr 2008 Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Domain Name System (DNS) Extensions RFC5201 E Apr 2008 Host Identity Protocol RFC5338 E Sep 2008 Using the Host Identity Protocol with Legacy Applications RFC5770 E Apr 2010 Basic Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Extensions for Traversal of Network Address Translators RFC6028 E Oct 2010 Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Multi-hop Routing Extension
