-Does the spec limit the count of SA payloads in a message? Where if so?
-[ Only the specific IKE main mode does. In the IKE spec.]
-
-The message ID field of the header, can it be considered a SA identifier
-if used together with the cookiepair? [Yes, it is meant to be that]
-
-DOI 0, what protocols are defined for it? Where?
-
-Isn't this a potential DOS attack:
-Hostile user listens for ISAKMP traffic, and then extracts cookiepairs
-and message IDs which he uses to flood any of the peers with spoofed
-packets pretending to be the other one. Most probably these packets will
-result in error notifications which potentially result in SA tear-down?
-Maybe should notifications never be issued for erroneous packets which
-cannot be authenticated? Or should we not tear down SAs as results of
-notifications?
-
-Certicom claims to hold licenses for Elliptic Curve Cryptography? Does this
-concern us? See: http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1363/P1363/patents.html
-
-Main mode when using public key encryption authentication does not look
-like an identity protection exchange to me. Must I really get rid of
-the generic ISAKMP payload presense tests?
-
-IV generation is not described precisely in Appendix B of -oakley-08.txt:
-'Subsequent messages MUST use the last CBC encryption block from the previous
-message as their IV'. This probably means that we take the new IV from the
-last encrypted block of the last message we sent. The SSH testing site uses
-the last block from the last message they received. This is probably not
-what was meant and should be clarified on ipsec@tis.com.
-[ From what we have gathered this is what is meant. ]
