Host Identity Protocol

Host Identity Protocol

The Host Identity Protocol (HIP) provides a method of separating the end-point identifier and locator roles of IP addresses. It introduces a new Host Identity (HI) name space, based on public keys. The public keys are typically, but not necessarily, self-generated.

HIP is being specified in the IETF's HIP working group. An IRTF HIP [http://irtf.org/charter?gtype=rg&group=hiprg research group] looks at the broader impacts of HIP.

The working group is chartered to produce RFCs on the "Experimental" track,but it is understood that their quality and securityproperties should match the standards track requirements. The mainpurpose for producing Experimental documents instead of standardstrack ones are the unknown effects that the mechanisms may have onapplications and on the Internet in the large.
