Abstract:

   RFC 8250 defines an IPv6 Destination Option that carries Performance
   and Diagnostic Metrics (PDM) such as sequence numbers and timing
   information.  While useful for measurement and troubleshooting,
   clear-text PDM data may expose operational characteristics of
   endpoints and networks.

   This document defines PDMv2, a revised version of PDM that introduces
   a registration-based security model.  Instead of specifying
   cryptographic algorithms or inline key negotiation, PDMv2 relies on a
   prior registration process to authenticate entities, authorize
   participation, and establish shared secrets.  These secrets are then
   used by endpoints and authorized analyzers to protect and interpret
   PDMv2 data according to local policy.

   This document specifies the PDMv2 semantics, header structure, and
   operational model.  The selection of specific cryptographic
   algorithms and key derivation functions, and the definition of any
   cipher-negotiation mechanism, are outside the scope of this document.
