Can someone clear up some confusion I have? In the draft-ietf-ipsec-isakmp-oakley-06.txt (section 5.5) I see: "A single SA negotiation results in two security assocations-- one inbound and one outbound. Different SPIs for each SA (one chosen by the initiator, the other by the responder) guarantee a different key for each direction. The SPI chosen by the destination of the SA is used to derive KEYMAT for that SA." In draft-ietf-ipsec-arch-sec-03.txt (section 4.1) I see: "A Security Association (SA) is a simplex "connection" that affords security services to the traffic carried by it. Security services are afforded to an SA by the use of AH, or ESP, but not both. If both AH and ESP protection is applied to a traffic stream, then two (or more) SAs are created to afford protection to the traffic stream. To secure typical, bi-directional communication between two hosts, or between two security gateways, two Security Associations (one in each direction) are required." Now a single ISAKMP Phase 2 SA negotiation can contain a proposal that specifies both AH and ESP protocols. So shouldn't a single Phase 2 SA negotiation result in four SAs (SA-AH-In, SA-AH-Out, SA-ESP-In, SA-ESP-Out) not two as stated in draft-ietf-ipsec-isakmp-oakley-06.txt? -- Will Fiveash IBM AIX System Development Internet: will@austin.ibm.com 11400 Burnet Road, Bld.905/9551 Notes: will@austin.ibm.com@internet Austin, TX 78758-3493 Phone:(512) 838-7904(off)/3509(fax), T/L 678-7904
