About ike

The goal of this project is to be a minimalistic IKEv2 (RFC 5996) implementation in Python.

Status

This project is in early stages. Use at own risk.

It will make your IP stack talk ESP to the remote peer.

What it can do:

  • Act as an initiator
  • Authenticate itself and peer using raw RSA keys.
  • Install ESP SAs and SPD entries to use the key material via setkey command from ipsec-tools.

Limitations (hardcoded values):

  • Cipher algorithm is Camellia in CBC mode with 256 bit keys.
  • HMAC / Hash / PRF algorithm is SHA2/256.
  • IKE group is Diffie-Hellman modp 14.
  • Authentication (both own private and peer public) key file paths are hardcoded.
  • 'setkey' syntax is of whatever the ipsec-tools on Debian 7.1 accept.
  • Traffic selectors are myip:any:0-65535 <-> peerip:any:0-65535

Design principles

  • Minimal amount of code.
  • Support MUST features of draft-kivinen-ipsecme-ikev2-rfc5996bis-02 (RFC 5996 successor)
  • Use strongest algorithms possible.

Documentation

You can read the Documentation at https://pythonhosted.org/ike

What this project is NOT going to be

  • ISAKMP (IKEv1) RFC 2409 compliant
  • IPSec data plane / ESP protocol
