The option you suggest below of negotiating "NONE" as the first key exchang=
e is (IMHO) Evil, and I would call for it to be rejected.  If you want to d=
o FrodoKEM only (and you don't have MTU concerns, either because you're goi=
ng over TLS, or your L2 protocol has a large MTU size), then make FrodoKEM =
as your first (and only) key exchange - problem solved.

I see. But the draft is not restricting how implementations are using Frodo=
KEM.



Instead, we are considering to expend the draft for running pure FrodoKEM o=
ver TLS, as suggested by Scott. This case is not covered in the current ver=
sion 03.



Also, I am think if we can run pure FrodoKEM (or any PQ KEM) in IKEv2 under=
 the framework of RFC 9370 as follows.

  *   In IKE_SA_INIT, KE payload includes NONE as the traditional KE. Note =
that NONE, no KE at all, has 0 as its KE Method Transform ID, according to =
the IANA IKEv2 parameters, https://www.iana.org/assignments/ikev2-parameter=
s/ikev2-parameters.xhtml.
  *   Later, run Intermediate exchange to exchange the public key and ciphe=
rtext of FrodoKEM via ADDKE, as specified by FRC 9370.
  *   Namely, the means NONE+FrodoKEM=3DFrodoKEM.
  *   Not sure if this works and is good in IKEv2 practice?

I disagree with this, I think the main part of IPSECME=92s draft should be =
to register code points for FrodoKEM without restricting how implementation=
s are using FrodoKEM.

Subject: [IPsec] Re: Call for adoption: draft-wang-ipsecme-hybrid-kem-ikev2=

Yes, this true. Also considering what a better name for our draft draft-wan=
g-ipsecme-hybrid-kem-ikev2-frodo. And this may also indicate similar issue =
for draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-mlkem.

For draft-wang-ipsecme-hybrid-kem-ikev2-frodo-03:
- Current title: "Post-quantum Hybrid Key Exchange in IKEv2 with FrodoKEM"
- Michael Richardson: "Using FrodoKEM in Multiple IKEv2 Key Exchanges"
- Thom Wiggers: =93FrodoKEM for IKE_INTERMEDIATE IKEv2 Key Exchanges
- Scott Fluhrer: No exact name suggested, but commented: "I would recommend=
 that this draft should back off from assuming that Frodo can be used only =
in the "Classical+Frodo" combination."

For me, I like the current one or that from Michael. A few reasons:
- Still, the main part for our draft is about how to use FrodoKEM in hybrid=
 way (traditional KE+FrodoKEM), though more PQ KEMs can be added by followi=
ng RFC 9370.
- The draft can describe how to run pure FrodoKEM over TLS, as Scott sugges=
ted. But this is a smaller case in the draft.
- For my understanding, hybrid is more general than just T/PQ. It refers tw=
o or more crypto component algorithms are combined to achieve a security pu=
rpose. (Also, how to combine the component algorithms and how strong the re=
sulting solution are further issues.)
- RFC 9794 seems not giving definition for "hybrid", but mentions that it c=
an be used for T/PQ (like hybrid KE  defined by ETSI) or a more general con=
cept (like hybrid KE defined by NIST). Details can be found in Section 1 of=
 RFC 9794.

draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-mlkem:
- Current title: "Post-quantum Hybrid Key Exchange with ML-KEM in the Inter=
net Key Exchange Protocol Version 2 (IKEv2)"
This WG document does specify how to use pure ML-KEM in IKEv2. Abstract tel=
ls "This draft specifies how to use ML-KEM by itself or as an additional ke=
y  exchange in IKEv2 along with a traditional key exchange."

Without stating an opinion either way, I=92ll note that the title of this d=
raft is consistent with the title of draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-mlkem, which =
also assumes hybrid.

Of course, the solution here might be =93change the name of the ML-KEM draf=
t too=94.

I agree strongly.
RFC9370 defines multiple key exchanges, so linking it in that way makes mor=
e sense.

Or, maybe "Using FrodoKEM in Multiple IKEv2 Key Exchanges"

<br>
For me, I like the current one or that from Michael. A few reasons:<br>
- Still, the main part for our draft is about how to use FrodoKEM in hybrid=
 way (traditional KE+FrodoKEM), though more PQ KEMs can be added by followi=
ng RFC 9370.<br>
- The draft can describe how to run pure FrodoKEM over TLS, as Scott sugges=
ted. But this is a smaller case in the draft.<br>
- For my understanding, hybrid is more general than just T/PQ. It refers tw=
o or more crypto component algorithms are combined to achieve a security pu=
rpose. (Also, how to combine the component algorithms and how strong the re=
sulting solution are further issues.)<br>
- RFC 9794 seems not giving definition for &quot;hybrid&quot;, but mentions=
 that it can be used for T/PQ (like hybrid KE&nbsp; defined by ETSI) or a m=
ore general concept (like hybrid KE defined by NIST). Details can be found =
in Section 1 of RFC 9794.<br>

draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-mlkem:<br>
- Current title: &quot;Post-quantum Hybrid Key Exchange with ML-KEM in the =

This WG document does specify how to use pure ML-KEM in IKEv2. Abstract tel=
ls &quot;This draft specifies how to use ML-KEM by itself or as an addition=
al key&nbsp; exchange in IKEv2 along with a traditional key exchange.&quot;=

Without stating an opinion either way, I=92ll note that the title of this d=
raft is consistent with the title of draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-mlkem, which =
also assumes hybrid.<br>
<br>
Of course, the solution here might be =93change the name of the ML-KEM draf=
t too=94.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; the draft, because I think it will lead to confusio=

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; achieves in terms of security. Namely, =93hybrid=94=
 commonly means PQ/T<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; hybrids, but this draft can be used perfectly fine =
with ML-KEM-512 in<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; the IKE_SA_INIT key exchange. While I do agree that=
 this would still<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; give us a (PQ/PQ) =93hybrid=94, I don=92t think tha=

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; expectations surrounding the word =93hybrid=94.<br>
<br>
I agree strongly.<br>
RFC9370 defines multiple key exchanges, so linking it in that way makes mor=

<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; I don=92t think =93hybrid=94 adds much either, othe=

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; hinting that this needs to be done in IKE_INTERMEDI=

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; that is the intended message, I suggest renaming th=

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &gt; like =93FrodoKEM for IKE_INTERMEDIATE IKEv2 Key Exc=
