IPSEC Situation Definition

Registration Procedure(s)
Registry closed
Reference
[RFC2407][RFC9395]
Note
The Situation Definition is a 32-bit bitmask which represents the
environment under which the IPSEC SA proposal and negotiation is
carried out.  Requests for assignments of new situations must be
accompanied by an RFC which describes the interpretation for the
associated bit.

If the RFC is not on the standards-track (i.e., it is an informational
or experimental RFC), it must be explicitly reviewed and approved by
the IESG before the RFC is published and the transform identifier is
assigned.

The upper two bits are reserved for private use amongst cooperating
systems.

IPSEC Security Protocol Identifiers

Registration Procedure(s)
Registry closed
Reference
[RFC2407][RFC9395]
Note
The Security Protocol Identifier is an 8-bit value which identifies a
security protocol suite being negotiated.  Requests for assignments of
new security protocol identifiers must be accompanied by an RFC which
describes the requested security protocol.  [AH] and [ESP] are
examples of security protocol documents.

If the RFC is not on the standards-track (i.e., it is an informational
or experimental RFC), it must be explicitly reviewed and approved by
the IESG before the RFC is published and the transform identifier is
assigned.

protocol.  [IKE] is an example of one such document.

If the RFC is not on the standards-track (i.e., it is an informational

The IPSEC Identification Type is an 8-bit value which is used as a
discriminant for interpretation of the variable-length Identification
Payload.  Requests for assignments of new IPSEC Identification Types
must be accompanied by an RFC which describes how to use the
identification type within IPSEC.

(24576-32767).  Requests for assignments of new Notify Message Types
must be accompanied by an Internet Draft which describes how to use
the identification type within IPSEC.

[1]
This is combined mode cipher, but combined mode algorithms are not
a ature of IPsec-v2. Although some IKEv1/IPsec-v2 implementations 
inude this capability (see [RFC6071] Section 5.4), it is not part of 
thprotocol.
