This draft proposes an IKEv2 extension to allow mutual EAP-based authentication in IKEv2, eliminating the need for one of the peers to present a certificate. This applies to a small number of key-generating EAP methods that allow mutual authentication.
 
Proposed starting point: http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-eronen-ipsec-ikev2-eap-auth-07.txt.
 
Please reply to the list:
 
- If this proposal is accepted as a WG work item, are you committing to review multiple versions of the draft?
- Are you willing to contribute text to the draft?
- Would you like to co-author it?
 
Please also reply to the list if:
 
- You believe this is NOT a reasonable activity for the WG to spend time on.
 
If this is the case, please explain your position. Do not explore the fine technical details (which will change anyway, once the WG gets hold of the draft); instead explain why this is uninteresting for the WG or for the industry at large. Also, please mark the title clearly (e.g. "DES40-export in IPsec - NO!").
