> The Internet Key Exchange Version 2 (IKEv2) protocol did have support
> for raw public keys, but it only supported RSA raw public keys.  In
> constrained environments, it is useful to make use of other types of
> public keys, such as those based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography.
> This document updates RFC 7296, adding support for other types of raw
> public keys to IKEv2.
>
> This is now a Proposed Standard.

> STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
