Introduction
Implementation
To allow the use of Intermediate Exchange in libreswan, the following options were added:
- The value 43 was picked to define a new exchange type, IKE_INTERMEDIATE. The value 16438 defines INTERMEDIATE_EXCHANGE_SUPPORTED Notify messages. The numbers were assigned by IANA.
- Changes were made in source files (programs/pluto/ikev2_*.c) where IKEv2 is implemented. For now, only a single round of Intermediate Exchanges is supported, since the post-quantum cryptographic algorithms are not yet a part of NSS API.
- New state transitions were added in programs/pluto/ikev2.c to support Intermediate Exchange.
- New connection option was added which can be configured with intermediate=yes.
- Test suite changes.
Future work
- Interoperability test with Elvis Plus

The implementation for this project is done by Yulia Kuzovkova (ukuzovkova@gmail.com) under the mentorship of Sahana Prasad and Paul Wouters and sponsored by Google as part of Google Summer of Code 2020 Program.
