E03-HP: Pending
Rationale
The December 2025 Linkoping project report supersedes treating the 2024 ECDSA failure as the latest candidate evidence. Section 4.1 reports PyHIP using ECDSA/SHA-384 with AES-256-GCM. Section 4.2 separately reports OpenHIP/OpenSSL provider integration and algorithm tests, and asserts base-exchange/ESP support. These are different implementation tracks; their results cannot be combined into one demonstrated profile.
Assessment method
Newer primary developer report, implementation-track and selected-suite comparison; no execution
Source context
Rosengren, Amin, Kanefall and Sohail, Improving the Open Source HIPv2 Implementation, 17 December 2025, sections 4.1 and 4.2
Outstanding qualification
Pending: bind a public code revision and license/dependency inventory to ECDSA P-256, ECDH P-256, HIT suite 2, ESP transform 8 and RFC 8046 mobility together. The report does not supply that exact complete binding. Its OpenSSL algorithm/provider results alone do not establish the selected HIP composition; its PyHIP GCM witness does not establish the selected CBC transform. The old failure is historical, not evidence that current ECDSA support is absent.
