> Are the handshakes that establish the cryptographic keys used to encrypt the payload themselves encrypted? If it's IKE, the answer is probably yes, but if not, I don't know.

For SD-WAN implementations they use IKE. For RFC8061 (lisp-crypto) the Map-Request/Map-Reply exchange carry the EIDs in the clear. However, DTLS could be used but it would take more RTTs to get mappings in the encapsulator (causing more packet loss).

I think it's clear that in these cases the identifier was available to the machine doing the deencapsulation/reencapsulation. Obviously, that's worse for privacy than having it not have that information. How much worse depends on a lot of factors.

It needs the information for table lookups. So how private/trackable are IP addresses in packets today?

The charter talks about no designs or solutions. In LISP, the mappings are not revealed to the world, you need to sign Map-Registers (to make your network location available to others) and you need to sign Map-Requests (for retrieving network location).

And if you cannot get network location, you can't send packets (i.e. DoS) the destination or any nodes close to the destination (much better than what we have on the Internet today where anyone can send packets anywhere).

> 2. Whether this creates persistent identifiers that would otherwise be destroyed when people changed their location

We can solve this quite easily. I’ll use Bitcoin wallet addresses as an example. You can keep changing them for every transaction so there is no association analysis. We have a working group draft in the LISP WG that does just that.

Would welcome.
