What is HIP? What is IDN?

Abstract

Identity-Defined Networking is a solution uses RFC 5201 / HIP (Host Identity Protocol) standardized by IETF, 
which is a protocol created with security from the beginning.
As it is changing the concept of network security, such as hiding to protect, whitelisting destination, 
introducing SDN technology, and so on, I hope to introduce it's technical elements.


This technology is a solution based on the concept of cloaking & micro segmentation, and using HIP.
HIP is a secure communication that separates the identifier of the IP address and the locator, 
performs communication identification with the ID, and connects only with the trusted party.
And, as stipulated in RFC: 5201/7401, encrypted communication is always performed on a protocol basis.

I would like to introduce method and use cases of this old and newly used secure protocol, 
which enables network separation and encryption overlaying on the ordinary network, 
and flexible NW construction without changing existing NW.
It is Identity-Defined Networking which permits communication with an ID as an identifier, 
and authenticates the network and performs network setting only from the conductor at the center.
