Abstract
Signature-based authentication methods are utilized in IKEv2 [RFC7296]. The current version of the Internet Key Exchange Version 2 (IKEv2) protocol supports traditional digital signatures. This document outlines how post-quantum digital signatures, specifically Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signatures (ML-DSA) and Stateless Hash-Based Digital Signatures (SLH-DSA), can be employed as authentication methods within the IKEv2 protocol. It introduces ML- DSA and SLH-DSA capability to IKEv2 without necessitating any alterations to existing IKE operations.
