Hi!

Today I imported iked(8) that is another automatic keying daemon for
IPsec.  In difference to isakmpd(8), which supports the ISAKMP/Oakley
a.k.a. IKEv1 protocol, iked(8) only supports the IKEv2 protocol at
present.  The IKEv2 protocol in RFC 4306 has been simplified and
provides many benefits over ISAKMP/IKEv1.

iked(8) itself has been designed to fit the style of all the recent
OpenBSD daemons and comes with a tool ikectl(8) for runtime
configuration, status, working reloads, and integrated commands to
maintain a simple X.509 CA for IKEv2.  I also have some important
design goals that I will describe later.

The current state is that iked(8) still lacks a few important features
but works as a responder against different peer implementations.  That
means, you can set up a running VPN with Windows 7 or libstrongswan
libcharon clients connecting to iked(8) running as the server or
security gateway.  I will add initiator (client) mode next.

This is a very brief summary, more information will follow.
