IKEv2 Project
This site is as of 20081205 in a reconstruction phase in a preparation to continue ikev2 development. Thus, it is possible that the links will be broken and files missing. Thank You for your patience until I fix the site.
IKEv2 is a project of Department of Electronics, Microelectronics, Computer and Intelligent Systems, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb that aims at full implementation of IKEv2 protocol as decribed in rfc4306 and associated documents.
The base of our work is a document Security architecture for the Internet protocol, or IPsec for short. IPsec exsists from around 1998 when first version of architecture was specified along with many supporting protocols. Since then, based on gained expiriences in implementations and deployment, new versions have been developed, and finally released as set of RFCs on December 2005.
IKEv2, or Internet Key Exchange protocol, is a second version of protocol that's part of IPsec whose main goal is secure exchange of keys over the Internet to allow safe communication between any two authenticated endpoints.
We hope that our implementation will be very fast, scalable, configurable and featurefull. Because of obsoletness of IKEv1 we do not have any intetions to implement older version of key exchange protocol, IKEv1, despite it's current domination on the Internet.
The final product of this project will be Unix program that behaves as an daemon process. It is a custom way to implement this kind of software componente which we follow closely. We follow customs of software development as well as software behavior on Unix systems to allow easy integration of this product into distributions. For now, our development is done on Fedora Core distributions, but we try very hard to make it as easy as possible to port it to other distributions and other Unices. Eventually, we plan of doing that ourselves.
On these pages you'll find many materials and pointers related to IPsec in general, and IKEv2 in particular. If you have any comments or additions to these pages, but also if you wish to contributed, please don't hasitate to contact us on development list or any of the developer on private mail address.
