S04-HP: Yes

Rationale

Known peers can administer their identities, trust policy and direct HIP/ESP communication themselves; this profile requires no fixed external service.

Assessment method

Documentary classification, no new runtime or interoperability test

Source context

Primary RFCs and explicit selected composition; retained source bytes, 2026-10-15

Outstanding qualification

Scoped to the declared independent private-IP network, not arbitrary public reachability or operation through unsupported NATs. The ECDSA HIT-suite hash is corrected explicitly to SHA-384; ESP remains HMAC-SHA-256.
