Internet Key Exchange - History

History

IKE was originally defined in November 1998 by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in a series of publications (Request for Comments) known as RFC 2407, RFC 2408, and RFC 2409.

  • RFC 2407 defined The Internet IP Security Domain of Interpretation for ISAKMP.
  • RFC 2408 Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP)
  • RFC 2409 defined The Internet Key Exchange (IKE)

IKE was updated to version two (IKEv2) in December 2005 by RFC 4306. Some open details were clarified in October 2006 by RFC 4718. These two documents plus additional clarifications were combined into the updated IKEv2 RFC 5996 which was published in September 2010.

The parent organization of the IETF, The Internet Society (ISOC), has maintained the copyrights of these standards as being freely available to the Internet community.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    You that would judge me do not judge alone
    This book or that, come to this hallowed place
    Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
    Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
    Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
    And say my glory was I had such friends.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.
    Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)

    We aspire to be something more than stupid and timid chattels, pretending to read history and our Bibles, but desecrating every house and every day we breathe in.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
