Re: [IPsec] [Members] [Nav6tf] Announcing the USGv6 Testing Meeting at NIST

["Latif LADID \(\"The New Internet based on IPv6\"\)" <[e-mail]>]

Pete,

 

This meeting is very crucial especially for vendors and to a certain extent to ISPs, so John could publish  this event (most probably already done so) to his ARIN constituency as it’s Sheila’s desire to get a good representation from all stakeholders.

 

It would be good to time Yanick for this meeting as she oversees all v6 Ready & Enabled programs together with Hiroshis, Erica, Timothy, etc, all power designers of these very technical and complex Interop programs.

 

We have Germany coming pretty strong as well with a great event (IPv6 Congress) May 20: http://www.heise.de/events/2010/ipv6-kongress/

 

In terms of v6 prefix ranking the US has shot thru the roof with 450 v6 Prefixes visible among 1230 allocated, making the US by far the largest v6 world. I guess ARIN’s aggressive campaign is collecting its fruits. Congrats.

 

Cheers

Latif

Latif,

Will you be in town for this? I will be there for sure.

Yanick and I are getting together ahead of the meeting.

Also, Junaid Islam, John Curran, and I are meeting on Monday.

Terry,

 

You touch a core issue of the he IPv6 Ready Logo program.

 

The v6RL Phase II (Logo) includes IPsec interop testing.

 

Though we have stayed away at this staged from mandating IPsec per RFC to give industry the time to put its arms around IPv6 issues first,

there a dozen of products that tested IPsec succesfully: 

 

http://cf.v6pc.jp/logo_db/approved_list_ph2.php

 

We have not yet defined Phase III which could include IPsec mandated. Now, we need to carefully define the test profiles.

 

This needs a serious discussion before moving forward.

 

Cheers

Latif

Sheila

Like Latif said, THANK YOU!

As you know from the Seattle meeting with aviation industry representatives and the vendor community last fall, the Internet security protocols' interoperability is a key lynchpin in being able to ensure that the next generation of Internet enabled aircraft can establish secure communications in the global aviation environment.  Aviation continues to be concerned that current IPv4 versions of IPsec, IKE, and IKEv2 still have  vendor-to-vendor compatibility issues that would be difficult for us to overcome in a fully heterogeneous global environment.  In our environment, an aircraft is continually making and breaking security associations between different service providers and air traffic management entities as it transverses from country to country and continent to continent.  Thus our environment requires a very high degree of confidence in the ability of our systems to dynamically re-establish secure links with these new entities.

We would encourage that interoperability testing fully include versions of IPSec, IKE, and IKEv2 to ensure these issues do not continue with IPv6 on which the next generations of global air traffic management will reply on (ICAO Document 9896).  The testing ideally should demonstrate a vendor's system's ability to establish links with other vendors systems with minimal time and effort for setup and link customization as the ease-of-use and ease-of-deployment will be critical for a global aviation infrastructure.

Unfortunately I will be unable to attend as I will in ICAO meetings that week, part of which will focus on these same issues.

Take care

PS:  It would also seem likely that the other CI sectors would have similar IPv6 security interoperability needs.
