Cloudflare One, Cloudflare WAN - IPsec downgrade protection (beta)

calendar_today July 8, 2026 domain cloudflare

Cloudflare IPsec now supports the IKE_SA_INIT_FULL_TRANSCRIPT_AUTH IKEv2 extension to protect against downgrade attacks on IPsec tunnels. IKEv2’s original authentication design has each endpoint sign only its own outbound messages, not the full handshake transcript. A quantum-capable on-path attacker can exploit this to bypass post-quantum key exchange by downgrading the connection to classical cryptography.
