Cryptographic Key Agreement Protocol Simulation

The High Assurance Internet Protocol Encrypt or (HAIPE) Interoperability Specification is developed by the US Department of Defense to permit enclaves equipped with compliant gateways to communicate securely over un-trusted networks. Using Cryptographic Key Agreement protocol, e.g., Internet Key Exchange (IKE), HAIPEs can establish automated security associations (SA) for this device instead of manually establishing. We designed a cryptographic key agreement protocol simulation scenario to emulate the process of dynamic negotiating security information to establish SAs. This paper describes the HAIPE IKE model and presents a IKE protocol simulation. In order to quantify the impact of HAIPEs on the end-to-end performance of networks, some typical application was configured to execute simulation. The simulation results show the process of HAIPEs IKE protocol and the impact of HAIPEs on network performance, and validate the correctness these models.
