[rt.icann.org #3528] FW: General Request for Assignments (ppp-numbers)

Attn: PPPEXT Working Group

The IANA has received the below request for a PPP ECP configuration 
option type.  The registry can be found at the following:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ppp-numbers

We are forwarding this to the working group for an expert review as 
this was suggested by our IANA official PPP expert.
Can we please have the WG Chair respond to the IANA on what the 
consensus is and how the IANA should move forward?  

Thank you,

Michelle Cotton
IANA

> PPP ECP configuration option type
> 
> Description :
> The ECP (in PPP) gives the possibility to select the encryption 
algorithm
> and its parameters. This ensures the confidentiality and the 
integrity of
> the PPP frame. The weakness of this use resides in the way of 
generating and
> exchanging the encryption key. In fact, for all the encryption 
algorithms
> the secret key is assumed to be already shared between the 
communicating
> parties. Using QKD,  the two linked nodes exchange the secret key and
> because of the use of the quantum technologies, this exchange is
> unconditional secure.
