The IETF has recently released a VPN-related informational RFC. RFC 4894, "Use of Hash Algorithms in Internet Key Exchange (IKE) and IPsec", written by VPNC's director Paul Hoffman, will help the VPN standards community evaluate how IPsec and IKE might need to be changed in the future if attacks on hash algorithms improve, as they are expected to. The document also shows how both protocols are already quite able to handle changes in the preferred hash algorithms, meaning that when new hash functions are needed, there are no changes needed to the protocols themselves.
