Status update for WG
ipsecme

Published RFCs: Renaming ESN (RFC 9827), Group Key Management using IKEv2 (RFC 9838), and Mixed PSKs (RFC 9867).

ESP Header Compression Profile and Diet ESP are waiting dcsp-np draft, and we decided to publish that document as experimental, so we are waiting for that draft to be submitted with those changes before they are ready for publication.

The IPSECME Working Group met at IETF 125 to discuss the status of active drafts and several new proposals, primarily focusing on post-quantum cryptography (PQC) integration, large message handling, and protocol optimizations. Significant discussion occurred regarding the alignment of PQC drafts, the efficiency of IKEv2 fragmentation for large payloads, and the introduction of KEM-based authentication.

PQC Auth and IKEv2 MLKEM drafts should be ready for publication. Downgrade prevention is also almost ready. 

FrodoKEM draft either requires CFRG to adopt their draft, or the references needs to be changed to some other source. 

A Larger Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) Payload draft-nir-ipsecme-big-payload should be ready for WG adoption call.
