MIKEY-DHSIGN (RFC3830) requires certificates, and MIKEY-DHHMAC (RFC4650)
requires pre-shared keys.  If you have neither, you could invent your own
MIKEY method that just used DH and crossed fingers that no man-in-the-middle
got involved, or you could use RFC4474 to provide protection against
man-in-the-middle.
