Hi Quinh,

 

please look at the  draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-multiple-ke-00.

It specifically addresses your concern about large public keys of PQ KE methods.

 

Actually, it's generally OK to have public keys/signatures up to 64Kbytes.

If you need to deal with larger keys, then some update of the specs is needed.

 

Regards,

Valery.

Subject: [IPsec] Maximum sizes of IKEv2 messages and UDP messages ?

 

Hi everyone,

 

I am interested in knowing what are typical maximum sizes for IKEv2 messages 
and UDP messages in implementations. 

 

The reason is that the IKEv2's spec has a must and a should being 1280 and 3000 
bytes respectively for IKEv2 messages, but does not
have a maximum limit.

 

As you know some of the post quantum cryptographic candidates in our 
standardization process have large or very large public key ,
signature and/or ciphertext sizes.

 

My guess is that some updates to the spec and/or implementations would make 
them work. 

 

Your data points and discussions are appreciated.

 

Regards,

Quynh.
