End-Host Authentication for HIP Middleboxes (Version 1)
Abstract
The Host Identity Protocol is a signaling protocol for secure communication, mobility, and multihoming. It achieves these properties by introducing a new cryptographic namespace. This document specifies an extension for HIP that enables middleboxes to unambiguously verify the identities of hosts that communicate across them. This extension enables middleboxes to verify the liveness and freshness of a HIP association and, thus, enables reliable and secure access control in middleboxes.
