[IPsec] Fwd: RFC 6631 on Password Authenticated Connection Establishment with the Internet Key Exchange Protocol version 2 (IKEv2)

This concludes the current round of IKE-with-passwords proposals: RFC 
6617, 6628 and 6631. All three RFCs are Experimental. I hope we will get 
some market traction behind this idea and will be able to progress one 
of them (or maybe something new) to Standards Track.

The Internet Key Exchange protocol version 2 (IKEv2) does not allow
secure peer authentication when using short credential strings, i.e.,
passwords.  Several proposals have been made to integrate
password-authentication protocols into IKE.  This document provides an
adaptation of Password Authenticated Connection Establishment (PACE)
to the setting of IKEv2 and demonstrates the advantages of this
integration.  This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the 
Internet
community.

EXPERIMENTAL: This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the
Internet community.  It does not specify an Internet standard of any
kind. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested.
